Texas Support??? Banded 6-12-12

[TexasJeff 179]

I'm in San Antonio. The gas post op pain is akin to feeling like you just woke up and you did 100 sit ups the day before. If you have a lap dog, apologize before surgery because Fido won't have his spot for a few days. (me, my lap dog weighs 80lbs, she looked so sad).

After day 3 it started to get better. I had my surgery on a Thursday and went to work Sunday. I'm a engineer on the railroad so the rocking back and forth on the train 4 days post op wasn't bad.

9 months has passed and I forget I have the band.

This was my first surgery EVER! And it was a breeze!!!! It's like a quick nap! My only complaint w the operation would be the nurse that helped me wake up and get dressed post op. she was very rough and very rude. I had never been put under so I was very out of it! Other than that everything was great!!! Good luck! The best is yet to come!

Yeah I feel so much better I have lost 30 lbs so far I love being able to get full off less food I ate off of a plate of food meatloaf and steamed veggies mushies I'm still eating on it has lasted 3 meals I'm tired of it now I finally threw it away. Not being able to drink while you eat is the hardest thing for me. As soon as my port sight stops hurting I'm going to start my exercise. Food luck to all of the new bandees. I get my first fill on July the 20th I'm exited.

I hope I can write something like this after my surgery next week!

What was your pre-op diet like?

I am in between Houston and Galveston, like Cheri (hi!!! Sorry I missed you and lunch! ).

I've been banded one year now and at a plateau after being over filled. Surgery at True Results Houston with Dr Reilly.

Feel free to email me kittyforet@yahoo.com as I don't get on LBT as much as I'd like.
