Hello everyone. I was banded on June 7th. I'm feeling good. I dont have any gas pains. Just a little gas pressure under my chest, but no pain (Taking gas-x strips). I was discharged from the hopsital yesterday. I have been walking and other than a little discomfort from the incision sites, no pain. My doctor did prescribed me with liquid tylenol with codine, but I took it last night just to help me sleep through the night. Other than that, my surgery went well and the hospital staff took very good care of me. I was taking off from work for only a week, but my surgoen wants me to wait until I see him for a followup next friday before I go back. He did say if I felt well enough to go back sooner, to let him know. I must admit, that I was nervous before surgery abut the gas pains and pain in general, but I have not encountered any of that. I hope those who recently had surgery are doing well with their recovery. Right now I am sipping crystal light with unflavored protein added and will have some sugar free jello later. Best of luck to those with upcoming surgeries.

Tomorrow is my big day. I'm still excited and nervous. Just finished my last meal before suregery. Well more like my last liquid meal before surgery tomorrow. I'll be staying overnight in the hospital. My prayers are with others who will be banded tomorrow. I am looking forward to embarking on this new journey of celebrating a NEW me. My next post will be after I'm discharged.

Hi all. Went for Pre-Op testing today for surgery on Monday. Hope all who had their suregeries are doing well. Nervous but excited.

My surgery date is June 7th. Luckily all I have to do is a 3 day pre-op diet, but I have actually been drinking (with protein) all but one meal since last Thursday so I can get used to being on liquids afterwards. GO for my Pre-Op counseling on June 4th. Nervous yet excited.

Best of luck JazyRayne. I received my approval letter from my insurance company today as well as a call from the doctor's office. I get banded on June 7th. I only have to do a 3 day pre-op doet, but I think I will do week.

Hi everyone. This is my first post. Been mostly reading alot of posts. I got my approval letter today and I'm scheduled to get banded on June 7th. Im looking forward to my journey as I embark on this new and exciting chapter in my life. Im starting to get nervous, but its mostly how I will adapt. Good luck to everyone!!!
