Hi all I was banded on the 19th too and I am also having gas issues. Fortunately mine doesn't hurt it just rumbles around all the time. My Drs. office called to check on me today and they say it is completely normal and will go away. I hope it goes away soon I am pretty noisy to be around...LOL!

Tomorrow is my band day too. I am sooo excited!! I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 7 lbs. in the last two weeks of liquids. Good luck to all that are being banded tomorrow and the rest of the week!! I look forward to hearing about your progress!!

me too I am on the 19th!!

Good Luck Peanut. It is only days away...Did you have to do pre op "mushies" diet? How did you do with it? How did you get your tickerfactory to post here? I tried and had no success. I am not totally computer literate...LOL!

Hi all I start the Stage 2 diet tomorrow as my surgery is 2 weeks away. I am just worried about being hungry. It seems like so little food. Has anyone done this? I am not sure of the portion size like can I eat a whole packet of cream of wheat for breakfast or only a half or quarter of it?

Hi everyone, I am relatively new here. I signed on a few times but haven't really gotten involved. I wanted to wait until my date was closer. Soooo....Insurance has authorized, I have pretesting on 12/30, start stage 2 diet on 1/5/09 and am having surgery on 1/19/09. I am so excited!! I would love to hear from anyone in pre or post stages. Happy New Year To all!!!!:tongue_smilie:

I will be getting banded on the 19th:)

Hi all..I have been attempting lap band surgery for two years. I just changed insurance almost a year ago that would allow lap band or gastric bypass. Of course then it has taken me another 6mos to get my paperwork in order. Now to lose the 10 lbs to get in line for surgery. I am having a hard time. I am doing Jazzercise 3-4 timea a week but I guess I am still eating too much because I am not losing much.
