Soon To Be Banded

[pibble11 1]

Hi, I am going to be banded on 1/23. I have been waiting forever for this day so I am sooo excited but completely nervous. I have never been in surgery before so the whole experience is new to me. I have been on liquid diet for a week and a half now and I am getting used to it, yet losing patients with it as well. I am so ready to just do it. I am also petrified to make to move and have this foreign device inside of me being "banded" seems a bit scary.

Hi

Don't worry I had my band fitted 14/12/2011 and when I woke up after surgery I felt uncomfortable as they had filled my tummy with air, so make sure you have peppermint etc to shift the wind ASAP I didn't feel like eating after the op and was like that for a few days, I then just had smoothies or slim fast shakes for 2 weeks and then had mashed food.< /p>

I haven't had a fill yet and can eat anything as there is no restriction this is really frustrating cos I don't feel any different after paying for the band.

I can't feel the band and never have been able to feel it, but have been assured that when I have a fill there will be a restriction and I will lose weight.

Just be prepared for discomfort for the first few days but only from having holes in you and being filled with air

Good luck and don't worry

I too will be getting my Band on Jan. 30th of 2012. I am excited to get started on my new journey. I am 52 1/2 and have been as my granddaughter calls it "FLUFFY" all my adult life. I have found and reached out to people who I have seen in the past 8 months while going to my appointments as a support team in my local area. This is going to make a big difference in the feed back I get. Because I will be able to SEE their resulsts as well as hear about them.

My scale wieght as of today is 260.5 lbs. So will see where this road takes me.....
