Banded today. Right now laying in the hospital. Pain is not horrible. More around the port site, I hope that it improves. Doctor said everything went well.

Can't believe it's done. The team was great, just hope in a couple of days I feel better.

Banded this past Tuesday. Doing really good except for a couple of things, the incision site for the port is killer sore and I have horrible gas. Walked around a kiddie park 2 times yesterday and will again today when my hubby gets home.

Hi All!

Sorry I have been MIA for awhile. The anticipation and stress was getting to me so I took a break. I am getting banded on Tuesday and am soooooo excited!!! As you know, I am going to Mexico, so there is a bit of anxiety associated with that, but I am ready!!! Everything is set! I have struggled a bit with the pre-op diet, but have lost 10lbs so far. We will see what the rest of the weekend brings. I had a bad episode with dizziness and almost fainted last night so I ate a low fat turkey sanwich, but so far I have done well on liquids. My only gripe is that I have 2 scales and they are 10lbs different, so I am not sure what my real weight is

Hey everyone,

I also have taken a break to recover a bit, I have had horrible gas pains over the past week. I've walked and walked and went back to work one day. I have to admit that is the absolute worse pain so far, besides that my incisions have been healing wonderfully and haven't really been painful at all. I did have to go back to my surgeon to have some of the "prime" taken out of the band. He said that I had extra swelling from the hernia he stitched up so it was too much pressure with the gas so the band was too "tight". I didn't even know there was any Fluid at all in the band, but he took 2cc out. Today, day 8 I feel back to normal, Thank the lord. So my advice to everyone who is getting ready to be banded...Invest in a heating pad, stock up on Gas X strips, and be prepared to take the pain meds they give them to you for a reason .There is a light at the end of the tunnel, this is not a painless procedure in my case, the gas is nothing to shrug off or think is nothing when you read other's posts about it but If I can do it you can do it! I've already lost 12lbs so far which is worth it to me! Take care everyone and GOD bless!

Hi all, I am new to this as well! I started my pre-op diet on 6/8(3week diet), my meet the surgeon is 6/12, my egd is 6/19 and my surgery date is for 6/29! Im excited and nervous but putting all effert into it! My pre-op diet is 2 Protein Shakes (still trying to adjust to taste and cover it up..lol) and 1 low carb meal a day! I've just told my family and on my Facebook page as of yesterday, but scared something will make it not possible to have surgery so didn't want to tell about it! I praying for best outcome and willing to do my best, my minds set just nervous!
