I was just banded on Monday, April 19. I feel good (just sore and very tired) but I am sooooo excited! I started this process last August, and it felt like it was taking an eternity. Now the reality has come true, and I'm hoping I have great success, and I'm positive I will! Any tips or suggestions for me? Also, I'd love to hear any success stories. Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone!

Hi, I live in Maryland, but to get banded I went to Dr. Akkary in Morgantown, WV. He is the best!

Hi everyone, I was just banded 2 days ago, Monday, April 19. I'm very excited to finally be banded. I started this process last August and it took FOREVER to get a date. But now, I've finally made it! :smile: I would like to know of any tips, suggestions, or anything anyone would like to share to help me along in my journey. Thanks in advance and Best Wishes everyone!

I JUST stopped my preop diet 2 days ago (cuz I had surgery of course), so honey I know exactly what you are going through. It was the worst thing I've ever been through. I cried and complained to my family nonstop. I did eat grilled chicken once, salmon once, and on 2 different occasions, I ate a piece of string cheese. I just couldn't do it without having a tiny bit of something. I had my surgery 2 days ago, and my surgeon said my liver looked fine. I was having nightmares that he would go in and not be able to do the surgery. If you must cheat, have a small piece of protein....no carbs. I promise, you will be fine. Good luck:)
