Hi guys and gals I have been lurking for a while reading all the great advice on here. I was banded on Friday 6 July at TLBC so my journey into bandster land has begun. My initial weight was somewhere around 330 ( all the scale said was EE till 2 days on the pre op diet it was 329) and my pre-op weight was 307. That 23 lbs on the pro op diet was a nice kick start and really has me in the mood to make this work. I look forward to reading more threads on here and getting to the point where I can contribute advice and not just be a freeloader. Later Vince

Welcome peaches. Funny how the shoulders hurt more than the belly isn't it?

6 Days lol Vince

I live in Barrie so probably not. Take Care Vince

I am doing well thanks. I started full fluids today. Soup never tasted so good. How are you doing Lisa? Yes I had to stay overnight but pretty much slept right through, didn't get to stay in the nice room though but didn't matter as I was just sleeping.

Welcome Lisa, Congratulations. I was banded the day after you at TLBC so I am just 1 small step behind you. Vince

Ty everyone, Gaffer is certainly seems like we are out numbered and I will assist you in trying to keep the ladies in line, although it could be dangerous. Vince

Ty Doddie, I have heard that many times about TLBC and their support system. I am sure I will be leaning on them a few times in the near future. Vince

Thank You all, Hi Kero, my experience was great they really made me feel comfortable there. My only problem however was I had to stay overnight and because of that I wasn't woken up after the surgery and by the time I woke all the people that could answer any questions I had were gone for the night. Yes I did have ample opportunity to ask my questions before but I had a couple new ones after the surgery. The night nurse was great but she didn't seem very knowledgeable about the band.

Well what did he say???
