    Help me!!!!!

    It's so funny that you asked. I was banded on the 28th of June and before my surgery I thought that I will reward myself by having a sub and 24 hours before a large salad. I looked at the scale the night before the surgery and saw that I put on a few pounds. I was scared that I would be turned down but I found that the day of surgery they did not weigh me. They took me in and I filled out some papers and 45 minutes after that I was put under for surgery. So I wouldn't worry about it. Just get back on track and you should be fine. Good Luck!!

    Frustration and Impatience

    It may be your metabolism; everyone body is different. We should not compare ourselves to the progess of others because that will only cause us stress and frustration and may effect our health and hender your weightloss. Just know that you are doing well and you have what it takes to meet your goal. Keep up the good work... You can do it!

    It is so go to know that you are doing well with your weight loss. I was banded on June 28th and is down 15 pounds. As for the itchiness, try Neosporin it not only helps with the itch, it helps get rid of the scars better.

    Day 3 post Op...

    It is day 3 and I have already dropped 9 pounds. I'm still swollen, but things are getting much better. Did anyone have swollen hands or arms from the needles? OMG, I have the smallest and worst veins in the world and my hands and arms are like a pin cushion, full of needle holes and supper fat. I've been putting bagged ice on them to get rid of the swelling but they are in so much pain I just can't stand it. Over the course of the 24 hours I was in the hospital I encountered about 12 different nurses who had trouble getting a vialble vein and they all poked me about 2 or 3 times. Another question... All day, all I notice is my stomach constantly make these funny noises like gurgling, bubbling, rumbling and much more especially in the morning? That gets so annoying to me. But oh well, I guess that comes with the territory.

    Help! Day 10 of pre-op diet and only 4 lbs. down!

    Maggs is right I lost around 10 maybe 15 and a few days before my surgery I put on a few pounds. My doctor still did my surgery with no problems. I think you will be fine so don't stress about it.

    Day 1 Post Op...

    Went into the hospital on June 28th, the surgery took longer than expected because my doctor nicked my gall bladder and of course I was bleeding so the doctor had to take care of that. I'm still a little sore but I'm happy. I'm scared to have liquids because when I have a sip of something I'm not sure if I'm full or if it's just soreness. Have'nt experience nausea or major illness. I overall I'm doing okay.

    24 hours before the surgery and I gained weight

    This is rediculous, my surgery is in 15 hours... I stepped on the scale and noticed that I have put on 6 pounds. Yes, I cheated on Friday by having a sub and on Saturday a salad from Longhorn Steakhoues but I've been working out, really hard. I just can't believe it, I's ashamed and embarrassed to see my doctor tomorrow. This is why I need the surgery so bad.

    I can't believe it!

    That is so good to hear. I will also be having my surgery tomorrow and can't wait!

    I'm getting banded...yaaayyy!!!

    I can't believe it, it has been a little over 6 months of working hard to lose this weight, following doctor's orders, testing and waiting for this very important moment. OMG, I will be getting banded on Monday, June 28th. I am somewhat nervous but I know I can do this. My husband is very nervous and scared because I'm his rock but I told him that this is for us and we will get through this. Wish me luck!
  20. I've never been more excited in my life other than marrying my husband and having my daughter but on Monday, June 28, 2010 I will be getting banded. I am so excited that I can't stand it. Yaaaayyyy!!!

  21. Congradulations on your progress. I will be banded on 6/28/2010.
