I had my surgery on Nov. 22. After the first week, I began getting hungry more and more often. I have found that I can pretty much eat anything I want, and I am struggling with not doing just that. I have my first fill on Dec. 26. Is this normal? Other than the port under my skin, I cannot tell that I have had lapband surgery.

Could I join? Getting banded hopefully on Nov. 21st.

I am scheduled to meet with my surgeon on Nov. 7th. I was told that this appt. would begin at 7:00 a.m. and will last until approximately 1:00 pm. I have been cleared for surgery and told that I should be scheduled for Nov. 21st. I am so anxious! I began this process in May. I have been reading forums on this site, and have realized that the pre-operative steps before surgery vary greatly. From what I understand, I only have to be on an Opti-Fast liquid diet for one week. I guess I will get all instructions at my visit with the surgeon, but I don't know anyone personally who has had the surgery where I am going so I am not getting any advance information. I have only told a few close friends (and my immediate family) about this at this time. I figure after I have lost weight and people ask questions, then I will tell about it. Until then, I don't want to hear anything negative about my decision. I would love to join this website and hear all about everyone's experiences.
