Im feeling the same way. I had my surgery on 2/20 and I was expecting a magical amount of weight gone. However as Missy said we are still in the healing stages.

I was banded today! Everything went well. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I am so excited to be a part of this forum. You all have been so great and informative. I cant wait to see the numbers on the scale decline. On another note ....the anatheseologist asked me why I was having the surgery. I told her to lose weight. she said I dont look like I need it. I guess I lucky to carry my obesity well. I am 5ft. 8inches my starting weight was 263 and my bmi was right at 39.8. Well enough of my rambling have a wonderful wednesday my fellow bandsters.

Question for you guys. I am still new to this website. I have the mobile app on my mobile phone. Is it possible to upload pics using the app?

I am chosing the band because it is definitely less invasive. My mother had gastric bypass about two years ago. My mother has been in the worse health of her life. She messes up several outfits in a week. When she has to go. She cant hold her bowels and at one point she had to be hospitalized because she was so malnourished. The doctors were begging her to eat. Also my pcp didnt recommend the bypass for me. I am 260 5ft 8inches lapband was clearly my best option.

Congrats! We have the same band date. Just a few more days to go. Im praying for you and all the ones that have had this surgery and the ones scheduled to have the surgery. God bless us all

My surgery is scheduled for 2/20 and my stay is approved for up to 23hrs with my insurance company. My bmi is 39. I think its just my doc requiring an overnight stay.

You look amazing! I get banded on 2/20. I cant wait to share my weight loss sucess with u all

Hoping all went well! You have to give us an update.

Congrats! I had the same feelings as you are having. I was at work when I got the call. I almost left work because I was so emotional. I have been praying for this for so long. My surgery date is 2-20! I cant wait

I am new to this forum. My surgery date is 2/20/2013. I have been on an emitional roller coaster. I find myself happy but shedding tears of joy. I need a band buddy.
