I was banded on Wed. everything went great. The pain wasnt to bad. I did have some gas pain yesterday but today I feel great. A little bit of incision pain but it is very minimal. Over all everything went great.

Glad to hear that everything went well! Congratulations on being bbanded and I wish you a speedy recovery

Good luck to everyone getting banded in the next couple of days! I was banded on Wed, and feel pretty good. I'm not running any marathons or anything, but taking everything a little slower so I can heal. Dealing a little bit with some nausea and gas pains, but other than that good!!

I am back at home now from surgery. It went very smoothly, but I have hernias that have probably been there since I had my twins. My dr said it was no big deal and he would repair them in 4-6 months. The pain really has not been bas at all. I wih all of you luck and hope that your surgery goes as well as mine did.

I was banded on Monday - started at 207, have followed the manual to a T and I am at 200.2 as of this morning. Keep drinking that flavored Water. The pain in my left shoulder was not something I expected, and I still feel a little weak - no way I can drive around yet in my car.

Can someone tell me how to get my ticker to work? I used Lilyslim but it isn't showing up

Congrats to you! What kind of flavored water do you drink?

Thank you!! I am very excited and if anyone can believe it or not - I started my journey when I saw the FDA approving the Lap Band for lower BMIs. I read up on it, did my research, and when I hit my all time high ever I contacted the surgeon.

My choice of flavored water is from Target - it is called Archer Farms and is the blackberry and also regular berry flavor. I tried the little "MIO" bottle where you can add the drops to your Water and yougurt - that does not taste good in my view. I am also having sugar free popsicles (one a day). Today was my first day eating tuna with a little light mayo mixed in. I am allowed to drink 30 minutes before or after eating and no snacking in between.
