I have to say i was banded on 2/17/10 I've been sticking to my diet. I'm down 36 lbs and feel great I'm working on my man cave. I live on the great south bay on long island NY. I make my own fishing lures and play guitar on top of my garage. It was flooding out so I raised it 3 ft and can't wait to finish it I will post picks after it's done. I see there's guy's from all over the world lets see some of your man caves. I also was to fat to fish but thats changed now. I'm gonna walk the beach for hours in search of fish. Talk later Jimmy:thumbup:

:thumbup:Hello Patrick I was banded on 2/17/10. I searched the net for the best routine or work out. I'm no expert but i did find out. That walking out side at a decent pace for a longer time is better. Than at a faster pace for a shorter time. I find that if i'm in a gym i don't want to be on a treadmill for more than 20 mins. I do 2.5 miles around the hood then about a half hour in the gym with light weight high reps. I'm on week 7 and i'm down 36 lbs. Again I'm no expert but this works for me good luck. Later Jimmy

I don't know if i'm doing this right but here it goes. It's 2/17/10 surgery is at 9:45 I have to be there at 7:45. I'm still nervous but not hungry. I lost 3 lbs on the liquid diet, so it's starting already. I should be back home around 5 ish see ya later.:thumbup:

2/21/10 sunday no gas very little pain. weight 304.5. I am getting hungry more often. Still on liquid diets. post op appt with the doc on 2/25/10.

That's awesome, how long was it from sugery to the gym.

2/20/10 3 days after surgery the gas is gone. The stomach pain very little I can sleep on both sides. I think I'm going to go outside for a walk Monday 2/15/10 my weight was 317.8 Saturday 2/20/10 my weight is 307.2

Ok 2/17/10 wed I was banded. The gas pains were bad, and no real appetite. 2/18/10 Gas pains and stomach pains were bad. I've been walking around the house trying to get the gas to break up. 2/19/10 early this morning the gas started breaking up. I feel much better today. maybe I'll start the gym next week maybe.

Good luck my original date was 2/10/10 but was cancelled due to snow. I almost gave up but I did it , and I,m glad I did. Looks like there's alot of good people on this board. they'll give you al the support you'll need. good luck Jimmy:thumbup:

Hello all I'm just waiting for the hospital to call, and let me know what time to be there tommorrow. I'm very nervous and hungry. Ill post tommorrow and let you all know how it went. My surgeon is Dr Edward Cussatti in Bay Shore Long Island N Y. Talk soon Jimmy :biggrin:

Day two and most of the gas is gone but I still feel it. the pains in my stomach are real bad I'm afraid to sit or lay down. As for posting I have my lap top on my drier. So as I walk around I'll right a few words Then walk some.:thumbdown:

Well everything went well, the gas pains are the worst. The drugs are taking a long time to wear off. The doc says two weeks of liquids. walking isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Thank you everyone for thinking of me and your support. This is a great forum, going back to sleep. bye bye
