I am feeling the same way. Still have lots of gas. Whenever I sip anything I feel like throwing up. I have been walking and walking and walking. Chest pain is the worst! Otherwise I feel great...LOL

I was having trouble keeping any liquids down. So I take a few sips and that is it. The first nite I came home I was dry heaving. Called my girlfriend who had the surgery and told me to sniff on peppermint tea. IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!! Looking forward to not feeling nausea anymore. Other than that I feel really good!!! Hope all is back on thier feets soon!!! God Bless ALL!!!!!!

I'm originally from Long Island, NY now living in Henderson, NV on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Being banded on Monday, May 19th!! YIPPEE!!! Started my journey in June 2007. Fran

I got a call from the scheduler at my doctor's office and she told me that they have to postpone my preop and surgery because my medical approval is still pending!!! I could have died when she told me that!! I have been through so many loopholes and hoops already and now another one to face. I asked her if the approval comes by Tues will I still be on the schedule for Wed preop and the 19th surgery date. She said yes. Sooooooooo I am asking all for prayers that the approval comes through by Tues or else I have to reschedule everything!!! I was soooooo looking forward to the surgery and getting on my journey to a thinner me!!!

We have a clothes exchange at the doctor's office. You can check with them. I think it's a great idea and this way your not spending lots of money on clothes until you get to your goal weight. Have a nice day!!!:thumbup:

hey Felicia....good luck on the 15th....i dont know of any other support group yet in Vegas...i will be attending the ones at the office...where in vegas are you located??? Fran

After a long journey I have finally gotten my surgery date for the Lap Band. It is on May 19th. I am sooooooo looking forward to it. Imagine that looking forward to surgery...LOL. I know this is a start of a second new life for me. The first one being a cancer survivor of lymphoma....5yrs now!!! I know this is going to work for me. After all I'm a fighter!!! This body is not going to get the best of me cause I still have the will to get myself to a thinner me!!! Looking forward to suggestions and help along the way. I have a lot of support with 4 people in my life that have had the surgery and are doing fantastic. God Bless you all!!! Fran :thumbup:
