Looking for someone banded on the 14th July 2008
tkelsey replied to tkelsey's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi thanks for your note. I moved to pureed food yesterday. I had oatmeal for breakfast, soup for lunch and a mashed up sweet potato an broccoli for supper. I didn't have any problems, in fact I don't feel any restriction at all. I guess I will after my first fill. I feel I could eat anything right now, but I don't seem to have much appetite. Well good luck to you - let me know how you get on. Cheers -
Interested in sharing the experience and to know how you are progressing vs my progress. I am a 60 year old male and am interested in a quick note once every couple of days. I was banded on the 14th of July - Monday. Everything went well - no complications. I have 5 small wounds. that are not giving me any trouble. Good luck to all.:frown:

Hi, thanks for your post. I am now 8 days post op and my shoulder pain is gone. I have just switched from clear liquids to thicker liquids. I don' feel hungray and have lost about 20 lbs with preop and post op. A few gas pains and lots of stomach grumbling. My fill comes up on the 12th of August - I will be ready. Let me Know how you are getting on. Cheers. -
I have just had the band done. I told nobody but the immediate family. I am curious as to whether or not I should tell my friends or let them figure it out over time. I told some of the neighbours that I had a small laproscopic abdominal procedure and they haven't asked for details. Funny that this is bothering me, I guess that means things are going well. First week liquid diet not an issue so far. Good luck to all us portly beggars.
