Has anyone heard from Giggle3474, dsh0917, pugchick,Canada Sunshine or Donna Marie? I saw that Leona's Mom had posted that she was doing great!! I hope all the others are too. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->__________________ I was banded on July 3 and am doing terrific. I have lost 16 pounds total including my semi preop diet. I had a start weight of 191 lost to 186 at surgery and am am now at 175 post op. I did have severe nausea right after surgery and thought I might have torn my stitches, but I didn't. I was given a shot after an hour and half of wretching which stopped the vomiting but not the nausea. I had surgery at 4:00 pm and was out by 5:45. I began to feel well by 10:00 am. No problems since. Dr. Sanchez was my doc and he was terrific. Two other ladies also had surgery the same day with him, but I haven't heard how they are doing. Thanks to all here for your support. I am 5' 1"

Congratulations everyone! I have now been banded since the 3rd. Haven't been hungry, but have had a bit of head hunger. Looking forward to starting soft foods on Sunday. I have been on full liquids one week and now pureed foods for a week.

where are you having your surgery done?

Yes I am going to Monterry. I got nervous for a while reading various problems people have, but I am over that and ready. I know this is one of the safest surgeries and it is quick 40 min to 2 hours usually. Most people are up and going at least the next day and many the same day. It will help with BP, joint problems and not to mention the money I'll save at resturants.:clap2: I also believe it may very well extend my life and certainly improve the quality. Good luck to the two others having theirs on the 3rd. Denise S. Dr. Sanchez

Looking forward to my surgery on July 3 by Dr. Sanchez Denise

I will be banded July 3, 2006 by Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey.
