Good luck to everyone going this week!! I am super nervous but as soon as I log into of February bandsters I feel over come with ease. I can't believed a new beginning is 3 days away. You all give me so much hope. This will be a hard journey for me because I come from a big Italian family who the majority should be banded. We are forever around food. I hope a can set a new example of Health for them all. I am ready to feel alive and not just be alive!! You are all wonderful and I am super happy I joined this forum. I might not write often but you all inspire me xoxo!! best of luck and well wishes to you all!! Here is to a new skinny , healthy and happier us

Good luck Rebecca!! Dont worry, everything will go great!

Today I am feeling good. I actually woke at my usual time and I am getting my son ready for school. Today is my last day of rest then it is back to work tomorrow. Outside of a little gas pain lingering, I feel great.

A great post surgery gift!!!

I am three days after surgery and feeling just a little better every day! Yesterday I hd one one of "what did I do, why did I do this" moments" , feeling very sorry for myself cause I could not eat and feeling lousy. But I then received the nicest gift from my sister. She came over with a shopping bag of clothes for me. I was sooooooo happy to find 2 pairs and jeans and 3 tops....all size mediums and 10's!!!!!! At first, I said, these could not be for me....and she said, yes they are cause you will fit into them shortly. As I held up the beautiful "skinny" clothes I realized that this was real...one day I will be thin and healthier, I knew that this would all be worth it!

I had mine on the 17th as well...its been a crazy exciting yet scary experience...im not in as much pain as I was the last few days....most of the pain is in my chest but thats because a few minutes into surgery my heart stopped and I had to have cpr.....I too have had more than one of those what the hell did I do this to myself for.but those moments pass.....if the nausea would pass I would be greatful.....all in due time.....good luck to all you feb bandsters......

I was banded on the 17th also. Seem to be doing well. Up and about, went for a short walk yesterday. My post op diet includes the Protein Shakes and obviously Clear Liquids for 2 weeks, so no problem there. I have a bit of pain up around my collar bone, but taking liquid tylenol. My incisions are healing well. Starting to itch - bummer! I found an anit-itch spray that I use around the sites (put my finger on the incision so I don't accidently spray it directly).

Obviously sleeping on my back due to the port. I have to wear a sort of "girdle" thing while the mesh that is holding my port heals.

Noticed yesterday all of the food commercials - how cruel! Switched to netflix and reading.

I'm planning a short excursion out today - to the pharmacy and vet (gotta feed the dog).

To mynewlife2011 - so glad we were banded the same day because if I had read of your surgery experience, I probably would have cancelled - it's exactly what I was worried about. Glad to hear that it turned out well though. Remember - baby sips! helps with the nausea.

I'm scheduled to be banded this Friday, February 24, but a little scared.

Well my surgery is scheduled for Feb. 28th with pre-op this Wednesday. Over the weekend I came down with this god awful cough. So I am going to my PCP today to see if he can "cure" me by Wednesday or I'll bet surgery will be delayed.

I really enjoy reading the posts here and wish everyone the best of luck.
