  2. Happy 65th Birthday buckadee!

  3. Yes, I got banded at St. Joseph's in Bryan, TX
  4. I was banded on 4-23. Had some early problems because my I-V came out when I was being moved from recovery to my room. Lot of swelling and the bariom would not go through the band opening until the 2nd day. Lot of froathing and throwing up during the first week. This has finally ceased. Feeling great now and able to eat mashed potatos, tuna salad and other soft foods as long as I eat small bites, chew well and eat S-L-O-W. Ozarka water and orange koolaid were lifesavers for me during the first 10 days.

    Banded on 4-16-09

    I had my band on Apr 23rd. I had problems because the I-V came out when I was moved from recovery to my room, and 4 nurses poking 12 holes in my hands and arms couldn't get the I-V started for 12 hours after surgery. I have sleep apnea also and stayed in the Hosp for 2 nights. Had trouble froathing and could not keep down liquids for most of the first week. Lost 26 lbs the first week. See the Dr. this Wed and expect that I have lost another 15 lbs or so. Finally feeling real well, able to eat mashed potatos, tuna salad and other soft foods as long as I take small bites, chew well and eat S-L-O-W. Thank goodness for Orange koolaid and Ozarka Water. Kept me going for the first 10-12 days.
