Hi all!! I'm moving to Oklahoma City/Edmond in a few weeks (from Nebraska)! I'm going to be in need of a new doctor, support group, gym & trainer. Are there any bandsters in the OKC area that could recommend any of the above to me? Also, if you're in the market for a "buddy" I'd be up for that too! Thanks!!

Thanks for the recommendation - Moo!

Hi there! Would love to be your bandster buddy!! I was just banded on June 21. I have my first fill on the 28th of this month. I'm so excited. I'm currently in "bandster hell" and I HATE IT!!! I've stalled on my weightloss and it just sucks. Would love to take this journey with you! Sharon

Thanks for suggestion. I know Norman is close, I might have to check that out. I'm really concerned about the gym/trainer situation. I need someone who knows what they are doing. I wanna look like a whole new me by time I see all my old friends/family in Nebraska at Christmas!

Hi all! I'm three weeks post banding. I'm starting to crave all my old (junk) foods. I thought the longer I went without ~ the easier it would get. But it seems to be getting harder. Also, I'm waiting for my first fill, and it seems like now I'm hungry ALL the time. I try having protein and it maybe fills me up for an hour. If I have soup, it now takes 1 cup to fill me up vs 1/4 cup that I should have. Is anyone else in the same situation?

Hi all! I'm newly banded (5 days) and I'm still having some intense pain under my left breast...near my heart. I had a hiatal hernia repaired during banding surgery. I'm not sure if that has something to do with it or not. Its painful to take a deep breath. Is this normal? Any thoughts or ideas? I'm still on a lose dose of pain meds ~ but feel like I should be off of them by now. HELP!

I actually feel better today ~ but the gas pain is pretty intense still! but it's getting better everyday! Thank goodness! I had a few mini meltdowns this week, but still powering thru!

Thanks everyone!!! I tried some Gas X chewable tablets & it seems to be helping. Pain is still there, but less. I truly appreciate your replies...because I did think something was severly wrong!!! You all helped me to sleep peacefully last night!

Hi there! I'm just newly banded (5 days) and would love to meet a buddy or mentor! I'm a 36 year-old single female currently living in Nebraska, but soon moving to Oklahoma to pursue my Master's degree full-time. I'm hoping to lose about 200 lbs, if not a little more (trying to be relistic!!) :smile: If any of you are interested in being a buddy ~ just let me know. I know none of us could ever have too many friends or supporters!!

Congrats! I was banded the same day!! Hope you're feeling well. I'm nervous + excited, but still in some minimal pain. We can do this!!
