I stuck throught the 10-day liquid diet and went in for my surgery, without complications. A girl hat shared my room with me cheated on her liquid phase and they cut her open to put the band in and were unable to get it in because her liver didn't shrink enough. So, it you are thinking about cheating DON'T DO IT. I felt so bad for her, because she had to get cut open for nothing. The liquid diet is ROUGH but it's important to stick with hit.

I feel like I am getting worse, I was banded on thurs and felt sore, now I am having trouble getting things down and I feel very lightheaded. Did anyone else feel dizzy?

Thanks! It helps knowing that other people are having the same stuff happen to them. I feel like such a baby because I'v been complaining all day. O know that I am dehydrated because I can't drink anything without feelong like I am going to throw up.

I was just banded on 05/17. I felt great, until last night when I started to feel like my entire body cavity was filled with air. Today is even worse, is this normal and does it go away?:phanvan

I just got banded on Thurs. My torso is really sore when I go from sitting to laying down. I feel like I am going to bust a staple. Has anyone had problems with their staples? This is my first surgery ever and that thought that I have staples in me is the worst part because I am so squimish. How long did it take for the doctor to remove your staples and do it hurt to get them out?

I think that different Dr.'s use different methods of closing you up.

They are going to re-try in a couple of months, I really felt bad for her. I posted her story so that other who are tempted to cheat don't do it.

Hi, I was banded on thurs 05/17. So far. so good knock on wood. My bandages are a bit itchy, but it could be worse. Good luck to a speedy recovery!

I got banded on thurs am, and after I was VERY groggy and sore across my torso. I got home yesterday and was still very sore. Today I feel much better. Whenever I got to the restroom, I try to walk around for 10 minues and then sit for 30. I think that is helping. Going from layig down to sitting is the most sore. Good luck!

I had a hard time with the liquid diet, and I am proud to say that I didn't cheat once. I'm am glad I had to do it 10 before, because if I didn't I would have been in for much more of a shock. Because when I started it I was cranky, dizzy, and had headaches. I got banded two days ago and thankfully the liquid diet is not that big of deal.
