liquids, mushy, soft before and after or just after?

So I had my surgery last Thursday (today being Monday). I am still in alot of pain. My stomach is killing me and I am constantly getting chest pains. How long did the pain typically last for you?

Is anyone here from Long Island, NY. I am just curious because I am being banded this Thursday.

How do you feel KiKi? I was banded on Thursday and I am in alot of pain. I feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest and stomach. They said the procedure was textbook and went excellent, but I am in alot of pain. Just curious to see how you were feeling

I am getting banded at syosset tomorrow. I have Dr. Reiner

Just curious to see if anyone is from Long Island. I am getting banded on Thursday at Syosset Hospital.

I hav a quick question about alcohol. Can you drink beer, liquor or wine after being banded?

Hi! I was just curious if anyone has used Dr. Dan Reiner in New Hyde Park, NY? I am all set for my May 14th date.

Ok so I was approved and now scheduled for May 14th. I know I have to start a ten day liquid diet prior to the surgery date. What is everyone eatting and how is it working?

That would be great Mary. Where are you from? My name is Julie and I am from Long Island, NY. I am 27 years old and am extremely excited and nervous for the upcoming surgery.

Hi Everyone- I am new on here and today I was just approved by my insurance company. I started this journey in mid February and was approved a week after submitting my papers to the insurance company. When I got the phone call I was so excited but then my nerves began to set in. I have never been a doctor person. This whole thing has forced me to get a million physicals. I am almost 27 years old and 320 pounds. My fiance recently left me and have the support of my family. I am supposed to get a date for May tomorrow. Can anyone help to ease my nerves? How has your experience been with the lap band surgery? How was the pain of the surgery? Recovery? Thanks, Julie
