to my plastic surgeon: i'm glad everything went okay at the dr. another step forward! have a great day! from your disco girl.

yes, i was banded 11-21-07. everything went well, i think! i went home the same day and spent the next day doing pain pills and the next day i went to a hockey game and now i am back at work! i am being kind of careful with the tummy but otherwise doing fine. i didn't tell anyone at work , thought i would after but i am rethinking that now. i did lose quite a bit of weight on the pre 10 day liquid diet. the day of surgery i was 191 from 220 even that loss made me feel good and ready to begin. my fear now is of not eating enough. i really have no appetite. i am especially afraid of the protein loss as i cannot stand a protein drink. anyway, thanks for letting me join and reading about me. good luck to everyone on the verge or even after. i know how it feels to be terrified and excited at the same time.:clap2:

i'm so glad you wrote to me and that we have so much to share with each other. how are you doing? congratulations and wow!! weren't we brave? have you returned to work? this is my second day, goes pretty good. i see my doctor for my 1 week check-up on thursday 11-29, i wonder what happens then? any ideas? are we really restricted at all at this time? i was reading some of the other entries and it sounds like before you have your first fill you aren't considered restricted. i haven't pushed it. just doing the same old tired food. soup, cream of wheat, jello and yogurt. for some reason i just can't stand the thought of having a protein shake. i need to figure a different way to get more protein. also, i read a disturbing thing last night, did you know we might be losing our hair? what are you up to today? sue.:clap2:

i am new! i had my surgery 11-21-07 today, is monday and i am back to work. my main worry is that i am not eating enough. as far as the surgery went it was good. i went home the same day did pain pills the next day and went to a hockey game the next. tummy is a little swollen and sore but not too bad. susann

yes, i am leary of telling the wrong people, some won't support you. i just had my band last week 11-21 and this is my first day back at work. no one seems to notice anything so i just feel like not telling.
