Anyone from Texarkana or SE Oklahoma getting banded or already had surgery?

I was also banded the 20th with hernia repair. Gas hasn't been problem...a little bloating but not really painful. I think my appetite is starting to return some. My incisions are really starting to itch....but overall don't feel too bad. I wish all the other July bandsters good luck and quick healing.

I've got 6 more days of pre-op.....going to be banded on July 20th! Getting excited!

Sounds great....I need all the extra support I can get!

Thank you so much for the advice....I am on my 3rd day pre-op. You are very inspiring!

I am having surgery July 20. My husband is supportive....not so with my daughter. I have 60 to lose for normal BMI. She thinks I should just diet......I have been overweight most of my adult life....only time I have lost significant amount of weight was with diet pills. I now have high blood pressure. I want to be healthy. I want to fit into normal size clothing. I want to be able to walk more than a block without getting out of breath. Yes I am apprehensive but at the same time I am excited for my new life!

I am getting banded on July 20th. Second day of pre-op.....so far feeling ok. I am getting excited and apprehensive at the same time.

Anyone out there banded in texarkana ....dr. Hekker?

My surgery date is July 20th. I am excited...but also scared of the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Also apprehensive about complications.
