PattyGirl66 1,243 Posted July 11, 2012 I am scheduled for surgery on July 25. Today is the first day of my preop diet. If all goes well it'll be 2 wks fr today! Magsgirl, I am right with ya!! same surgery date . I did start my pre-op Monday just 2 days early. I do not have to do the liquids so I lucked out big time! I am still aiming to lose another 10-15 pounds 'more' before my day. I am nervous as all, more anxious every day. I am glad I have this site to keep my mind a little occupied in the meantime. Keep in touch! -Patty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImMaria01 2 Posted July 11, 2012 I'm getting banded on 23rd July too at Dolan Park by Mr A Sigurdsson. Nerves beginning to kick in! Any advice would be helpful. I'm day 6 post op; got the Realize band and had a hiatal hernia repair. I've resumed normal activities except lifting. Get your stuff ready (Gas x strips, puddings, Protein Shakes, s/f beverages, etc.) The procedure itself was not as painful as I would have imagined. I only had to take pain meds twice. You will need to move around to help with gas pains -- those were the worst, but Gas X strips and walking helped. Also, make sure you get a RX for nausea medications for the date of your surgery. You don't want to battle that! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PattyGirl66 1,243 Posted July 11, 2012 Tom, wonderful job there.. Congratulations on your weight loss success and of course helping with their journey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomander 614 Posted July 11, 2012 I found support from other bandsters to be a key to keeping my weight off. I host several coffee groups a month in my area for people that are banded or looking into the procedure. I also still get weighed in every month with my family doctor... I don't own scales... this keeps me on track and motivated. Tom, Toronto Banded July 6 06 Wt.
