Great to read all of your stories and concerns thus far! I am being banded on the 27th- I was supposed to be banded tomorrow but life got in the way. I was wondering for those of you who have gotten the surgery- how soon did you go back to work? Did it match what your doctors said?

Hope everyone is good,

Well I start my 2 week liquid Protein on Friday, bad thing is we are leaving on a trip for the week end, hard to pack all the extra on the bike. I hope I can tolerate them, I took SF koolaid and puddings to mix in. But I do want to try to mix with SF orange soda as my DR suggested.

Hard to think its only two weeks a way after so long ..........

Good question Monkeymama,

I am getting banded on April 23rd. So far I've only asked for the surgery day (Friday) and the Monday. I can make my job sedentary if needed. My biggest concern is nausea. Did you get some good replies?

BTW- Good luck with your surgery! I'm predicting that April 2010 Bandsters will enjoy the BEST results ever!

Keep us posted!

I have a desk job. I was banded on Wednesday and went back to work on Monday with no real problem - just a bit fatigued. I has some gas in my stomach and took Gas-X stips to keep that down. I had limited referred pain in my shoulder. I only used pain med the first day and a half. They made me fuzzy headed so I switched to Tylenol. I had no nausea or vomiting. I focused on my Water and Protein drinks and sipped, sipped, sipped.

Everyone is different but I am 57 years old and not especially healthy and I did fine.

Good luck!

Rebecca I go the day before you... It still seems unreal to me so the nerves haven't kicked in.

Well I have made it thru the long weekend and lost 5lbs so hope I'm off to a good start. I need to ask if it's OK because I only have been drink 2 or 3 shakes a day with a side salad for dinner. I was not hungry at all. But the shakes are much better when you have a blender to mix them with ice and a little fruit.

April 30th is fast approaching:ohmy:...
