Hey all I got a call from my surgeons office today moving my surgery from 2/11/08 to 1/28/08 so I am now officially a January bandster!

Just curious to see how many out there really did cheat.

I have a question, I like to travel a lot and go to theme parks. Has anyone gone on thrill rides after being banded? How did it effect you? Anyone not able to go on rides afterward?

Hello January Bandsters, Just checking in to see how everyone is doing now that we are all banded? I am doing ok. I'm 6 days out and still on Clear liquids. This is the part that is killing me. I am so sick of clear liquids it's disgusting! I will be able to move to full liquids on Monday after my post op appt. Thank goodness I scheduled it for 8:30am!! Keep up the good work everyone!

You should come to MN in 2010 when our new ballpark opens.

All I can say is that I'm sad to see him go but every Twins fan knew that there was no way we could afford him. I'm just glad that the Yanks or Sox didn't get him and that he went to the NL. You guys got one hell of a pitcher and a great clubhouse guy. He did so much for the community up here! I'm sure you will also see some more history made out on the field with him as well. I was fortunate enough to be at the game last season when he struck out 17! What a great day!

Sorry to hear about your commplications! Glad to hear you are doing well now! I hope your recovery from now on will be smooth and swift!

Hi there, Sorry to hear about the icky burning. I didn't have any burning but I did/do have pain around my port area. I say if it persists I would call your surgeon.

Hey there I have a question, my surgeon requires a 10 liquid pre-op diet. I am going to take that one step further and do a 14 day diet and the 4 days prior to all the liquids I want to mix in some protein/meal replacement bars. I was wondering which ones you would recommend? Looking for high protein, lower carb and sugar that doesn't taste like chalk. Thanks much

This is a thread to wish everyone good luck on their lap band journeys. I will post who is having surgery everday this month and lets let them know we are thinking about them.

Hey all, I just got home from the hospital as I was just banded yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything is going well. I am able to keep everything down and I don't have much for pain so that's good. What a long night at the hospital, I didn't get much for sleep because I couldn't get commfortable. Ah now that I am at home I am hoping to get some rest!

I had surgery yesterday morning and all went well. I was home by 9:30 this morning from the hospital. I am kind of tired but I have no real pain or anything like that. Nothing that my tylenol can't cure. I have been sipping and walking since surgery was out yesterday and that is going ok. I have had some broth and a little jello today and that went down fine. I am so excited to heal. The only thing I forget to ask Dr W was when can I resume exercising does any one know?

I have to be at the hospital at 6am sharp. Wow that's in less than 7 hours. I better get off to bed. I will update when I get home. Thanks, Crystal

Hi there I thought I would start a thread for us February bandsters. List you exercise goals for the month of January and update us daily or weekly. I will start..... My goal for January is to work out at the Y 2x a week.
