    Hello againTeachlady,

    I'm back on here. Trying to make contact with TerriDoodle too.

    I seemed to to relate with the 2 of you.

    Hi Jane,

    We are both doing great! Panda is pregnant! She is having a little boy in September. That was one of her main goals of her having the band put in. She was down about 80 lbs before she got pregnant and I am down about 60. I have been there for a while now. I do check in often even though I usually do not post. I have been keeping up with the shrinking violets. We planned to go along on the trip in May but, that was before we found out about the baby.

    Katie, Don't beat yourself up about it, just get back on track now that you are back to the real world. This time next week you will feel better. Take it one day and one meal at a time. Good Luck. Darla

    He put lots of fluid in at first so that I could feel the feeling of pressure as I took sips of water and then he took some out so I could feel it drain through. He kept making adjustments until he was satisfied with the tightness. It didn't hurt any more that a shot. Just when he first put the needle in and when he took it out. I could not feel it while he was filling. It was not bad at all!!!

    Since I'm still on liquids I only feel pressure when I take a sip. It only lasts for a few seconds. I guess till it all drains through. Not sure yet about restriction.

    Just a quick update - Panda and I received our first fills on Tuesday 5/1/07. Wasn't bad at all. We are on clear liquids for 2 days then full liquids for 2 days. So far, so good.

    Hello Everyone, Well Panda and I got our bands yesterday. We both got to go home last night. I had a hiatal hernia so I am having to deal with some pretty rough neck and shoulder pain. :omg: Dr says it is normal to have it after a hiatal hernia repair. I am staying medicated by the clock and using heating/vibrating pad today. Seems to be helping. Lots of walking too to get rid of gas. The pain from the banding itself is not too bad. :sick Just a quick update, talk to you later. Darla

    :girl_hug: Hello Everyone, I figured I had better get my last pre-surgery post in before I head off to church tonight. I have been on clear liquids since last evening. Not too bad so far. Had coffee this morning. Propel water and beef bouillon broth for lunch. Sugar free popcycles and sugar free jello for later, with water in between. Nothing after midnight. I am so ready for tomorrow. I pray that we all do well through surgery and have speedy recoveries. Hopefully I will be back home and posting again by this time tomorrow. Darla:clap2:

    Hello skinnysomeday, Good to see you on the band wagon. I'm scheduled for next Monday 4/2/07. Good luck to you! Darla

    Jennifur - I had surgery a couple of years ago and one of the best tricks that worked for me was - before surgery put a heavy duty armed chair beside your bed (I used a kitchen chair with arms). You can use the arm of the chair as a bed-rail to help you get up from or down into the bed. It worked wonderfully for me.

    lo Everyone, Just wanted to let you all know that I am still here. I went for pre-op yesterday and everything is on go. Waiting for 4/2/07. Total weight loss so far is 22 pounds. :speechles I have been very busy: Husband had surgery last week. All went well. Planning a wedding vow renewal. Getting married again on Saturday, to my best friend. We are renewing our vows for our 30th Anniversary. We did not have a church wedding the first time. We have been going to have a church ceremony for the last 30 years and are finally doing it. Then have lap-band surgery planned in a little over a week. Full schedule;) Things will calm down in a couple of weeks, I hope. Gotta go for now.
