Hi November Bandsters, When Is Your Lap Band Surgery Date ?

[banded_princess 0]

I am telling people at work that I am having Gall Bladder issues. then when it comes to surgery date I am going to say I am having my Gall Bladder removed.

Thats a good idea! i am lucky my holidays from uni start one week exactly before, hopefully my pre op diet will only last one week because the week before that i have final exams!! arghhhhhhhh!

I am also not telling anyone but mum dad and the boyfriend about my surgery! hopefully will be having a day procedure so i wont even have to stay the night at the hospital! just a matter of managing the pain and getting back to normal so you feel better!

Best of luck!!

Told my boss today I would be out for 6 days to have my gallbladder removed. So excited, my pre-op appointment is on next wednesday, there I will find out if my pre-op diet is 2 or 4 weeks...OH please only 2 weeks.

Hi everyone! Im so excited about this board!

I had my surgery November 2nd, 2011.

I'm 32, I have two boys 2 & 4, I'm blogging and vlogging my way through this adventure which you can find at pepperscraps.com

I'm doing really well so far! Pain is easily managed with drugs and once I got a rx for nausea I was doing really good!

I'm actually surprised at how good I feel.

Hey stacey I friended you to be added to the group but my tablet froze before I could message who I was. My name is Pepper.

Hi everyone! It looks like this is the group to which I belong!

I got banded today, and I'm excited for the journey ahead.

November 29th. I can hardly wait. Today I started my pre-surgery diet. Dr. wants me to drop 10 lbs prior to surgery so Im on liquids till the 29th. He did give me the okay for a bite of turkey on Thanksgiving.

This is it for me. November 29th cannot come soon enough,. How soon after the surgery will I be able to drive, and function normally?

Im sure Ill have lots of questions, so Ill appreciate any guidance and insight I receive.

I was banded November 1. I go to my 1st post-op appt today. I am really hoping their scales match mine.

I was also banded on Nov 1st. Still pretty sore around the port area but other than that I feel great. Down 16lbs and 2 sizes so far. When I went last week for my post-op appointment I was told that it was really good that I was down so much and that between surgery and the first fill most people actually gain.

At first I wasn't hungry at all...I could care less if I ever had food again. Slowly I am starting to get an appetite back. It is crazy how now when I start to feel full I am full and do not keep piling the food in.

I get my first fill on Nov 30th. Woohoo!!!

Good luck to all!

P.S. I do not do Facebook so I hope some of you will stick around here as well as the facebook page.

Remember to take deep breaths and walk at last 5 ln every hour...it helped me with the gas pain.
