got my band on friday the 11th. doing pretty well. i had really bad gas pains for the first couple of days. they said the air bubble was the size of a small melon on the x-ray. its starting to get a little better now. i've been walking and walking and walking some more. i haven't had any hunger at all so it has been a chore to get down all the fluids. just glad the hardest part is over.

my surgery is tomorrow morning at 8am. i'm just now starting to get a little nervous. i'm sure of my decision to have the surgery, just dreading the recovery. very excited though good luck to all my fellow june 11th bandsters!

hi everyone :thumbup: this is my first post. my surgery day is june 11th! yay! my doctor wanted me to lose 20lbs before surgery, so i've been on a diet of 2 Protein Shakes and a small low-carb meal a day since my initial consult on the 10th. i went last friday for my dietary consult and started my 2-week liquid only diet. so far i'm down 14lbs. my doctor sells Bariatric Advantage in his office, but i've been using the Isopure dutch chocolate i got from GNC. i went ahead and got a pkg of the BA banana at my appt friday.....disgusting! isopure is muuuuuch better!
