First Challenge as well... Was banded on 09/22 and haven't had a fill yet. Going for 8lbs but hopefully more:)

Thanks for the advise. I am scheduled to see the doctor on 11/12/10 for my first fill (I think, I hope)... I see that you are in Chula Vista, if you need a support group Scripps Mercy has one and it's great... let me know and I can send you the details... Keep up the good work...

Hi Guys, I was banded on 09/22 and was very nervous but all went well. I ended up staying for two nights at the hospital because I could not keep anything down but finally Thursday night I could keep in the water and the broth. I am extremely sore and really can't drink too much because I start feeling very sick. I am on clear liquids and doctor said I could have some jello and yogurt but I tried and just couldn't. I've had one sugar-free popsicle and that helped. I also need to have one protein drink a day and I started today and I'm two hours into it and not even close to finishing it. Well I hope it get's better and I am so glad I took the rest of the week off from work... Good Luck to all that are being banded this week and to all that have been banded..... On a good note: I've lost 9 lbs -

Hi guys, was banded on Wed 9/22. I checked in at 11:30 and was scheduled for 2:30 but ended having it at 1:30. Well still at the hospital because I was vomiting and couldn't keep my 30cc of water in. So here I am.. -
I understand you are nervous about the surgery, but in all honesty, you should be more nervous about what can happen without it.
I had so many co-morbidities that I was afraid of having a heart attack and dropping dead. I am diabetic (Type 2), high cholesterol, high blood pressure, my thyroid wasn't working well, sleep apnea and I just felt old, fat and uncomfortable all of the time.
Since my surgery my meds have been cut in half and I am warding off another bout with cancer. Yes, I am a breast cancer survivor. Had a mastectomy on January 5th, 2010. I had emergency gallbladder removed on July 19, 2009.
I wish you the best of luck and will be here if you need a shoulder to lean on or have questions to be answered.

Good Luck to all getting banded tomorrow, you all will be in my thoughts and prayers... I have my pre-op tomorrow and then surgery on Wed.., I am getting soooo very nervous but I know this is the right decision for me. Today I thought oh I will have my last mcflurry from McDonalds but I didn't:thumbup: I said to myself I don't need it and I don't want it because I am where I am because of all the junk I ate without thinking....
