Welcome this is a pretty slow room make sure you get support from those who got banded around the sametime you did by your post it would be the 2009 September room. I hope all went well on your surgery.

My partner travels to BWI often to work, I went a couple months ago for the weekend. Good Luck:thumbup:

Slow is right! Thanks for the post JayTee! Currently day 14 post-op...things are well. :mad:

Was also banded on the 15th. All is going ok so far except the gas as well. Going out today for the first time to do a little shopping. Will look for some form of Gas-X. Be glad to start on the Protein Shakes. Starting to feel a little hungry and really sick of juice! <BLEH> Best of luck to all of you!

:biggrin:

Getting banded TOMORROW! Nerves on edge, but excited!

Hi All! Any bandsters in Maryland? Getting banded tomorrow ~ looking for GLBT friends.

Greetings y'all. Getting banded TOMORROW! <gulp> Am a nervous wreck! Things were OK until my sick, twisted little mind thought, "Holy crap, I'm getting banded in the hospital I was born in! How sucky would it be for me if complications set in and I croaked in the same hospital I was born in???" :thumbdown: Wish me luck!

Hi guys. 44 yr old guy new to the site and looking to chat with other men who have had or are getting ready to have the banding procedure. Have finished the 6 months of classes that BC/BS requires and will have a date soon. In February when I started I was 298 and have lost 10 lbs as of yesterday. I suffer from severe sleep apnea and that is the motivation to have the surgery. I'm a dispatch supervisor at 911 and sitting behind a dispatch console for 21 yrs has contributed greatly to my current weight status. Recently am having a case of nerves and I'm worried about chickening out. Like most men...I have committment issues! LOL Seriously, concerned about the changes that I'm going to have do after the surgery. So, feel free to respond. Would really appreciate it!
