This is a question i have been to embarrassed to ask at the suppport group so I hope people will give me some feed back> has any had a problem performing oral sex after they were banded. I'm afraid that it will be something I can no longer do for my Fiance because of the gag reflex. Has anyone had any issues in that department since being banded? :welldoneclap:

I am so excited . i will be banded this time tomorrow. My surgery is scheduled for 10:15 am. i have filled out my paperwork in case it doesnt go well. I have packed my overnight back I have stopped eatting for the night. I think I need to drink more water thought. I always have a problem with finding my veins. So I hope if i drink a lot of water it will be alot better. well wish me good luck!:wink2:

Well, I was banded on May 13 at 10:15am. When I woke up everything was ok. my pain medication was working. i Slept most of day One. The second day I was scheduled to go home. They took me off the morphine pump and that began my spiral down. I went home day 2 at around 4:30pm. I got my pain meds at around 6:51pm. I took 2 delatin .. (think its spelled that way) and was in so much pain. I could not get comfortable, i was sweating . I was being a real bitch to my fiancee. the pain was just so bad. At around 10pm i just could not take it anymore. I ad to call the doctore. I told him about all of my pain and I could not even sleep . He recommended i get some motrin and take the pain killersw every three hours instead of every 4 hours. Ohh my gosh once i took that pain regimen i was able to sleep and became a much nicer person. I realize my pain tolerance is low. I have never had children and never had surgery before being banded. Well im 5lbs down from preopt weight.:thumbup:

yeah . The pain was in my back and at this one site i the front. My other 3 incisions are not hat bad.

one of the things i was told not to drink are those breakfast drinks.i was told i should drink things low in sugar, low in carb high in protein such as EAS or atkins protein drinks. Ask the doc about the breakfast drinks. or the dietian

well, i am banded. i went through that phase of "why did I do this"?I went through that on day 2 . Day two was so so bad. I had to get my pain meds under control. I could not follow the every 4 hours. My tolerence for pain is really low. So Doc told me to take some motrin and the ainkillers every 3 hours. I felt so much better. So im 5 lbs down from preopt 303lbs now 298lbs. I am hapy I did it. and as the days go on i know it will get even better. Trying to get that 50 grams of proetin in thats another story.:thumbup:

What time is your surgery? ANGELSOUL?

Im going to be banded tomorrow at 10:15 i have to be at the hospital at 8:15. I did not have to do a bowel prep though. Sounds a little nasty. I am so excited and nervous but more excited.

Congradulations! Im keeing my fingers crosed

I am 28 years old. I weigh 302lbs. I have been overweight aLL my life. i live in MD. I am scheduled to have lapband sugery tomorrow @ 10:15am. Ill keep in touch!

Yes, I am in Glen Burnie, MD. I am going to be banded tomorrow at St. Agnes Hospital.

I have always been a fat kid. I was born 9lbs. I was destined to be big until now!

Well I will be banded on May 13th. I can't belive that the day is so close. i have been overweight all my life. I have never seen myself thin. I am a little nervous, as well as afraid of failing. Im very excited though. i feel like its my first day of school and i have to have all my clothes in order and everything ready for tuesday. I read that some people did not tell people but i have told alot of my friends and family. I hope that I dont regret that later. I have never had surgery before. I hope my day after is not really painful. how do they give you pain killers to take hope are they in liquid form? well wish me good luck!

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. The time is now to take control of my weight. I will keep everyone updated on my progress.

I told everyone about my decision. I am in sales and I have to take people out to eat and i will not be able to eat the way I use to. So i told some of my clients that I do take out to lunch. I told my family because I wanted their support. At first they were not supportive but they are coming around. But for me i cant hold water. So i knew I would tell people. and when people see me after my weight loss I know they will ask.

I have always been told the same thing ohh you have such a pretty face. well i guess the rest of me wasnt so pretty. But i hope that i dont lose my friends. I have always been that outgoing friendly girl. I have supportive friends. Just hope it doesnt change when i am 150lbs lighter.

well this is the first time im on here. I am so excited about my surgery on May 13th. I am scared to. Maybe i should say nervous. I have finally told my family and friends that I am having the lap band surgery. My mom thinks im crazy and my fiancee, says he is supporting me but he wishes I would not have the surgery. I know that I have to do this for me. Does any work on the road or is in sales and is constantly on the road. If you are and you have been banded what do you do about eating? Do you carry your protein shakes with you or do you carry a small container of food with you? I would love to know. One of the hardest things for me is probably going to be taking my clients out to eat and not eating with them. But if you are on the road , i would love some advice. . Im 304 lbs and 28yrs old i know i cannot continue to be this size. I believe I made the best decision.:w00t:
