Was banded today (out patient) and not much discomfort. Left shoulder ache using heating pad helps 100%. A hiatal hernia was aslo fixed and more discomfort in the area. Taking liquid pain meds for hernia. Prior to hospital release I walked many minutes with a nurse.

My doctor didnt want me to use ice chnips for 24 hours. I see him on followup in 2 weeks.

Be positive and your day will be here soon.

Be positive and follow any and all doctor directions pre-op. Makes band day easy. Mine was easy. Very little discomfort except hernia repair. Banded 8 hours ago.

I am being banded on the 10th. Doing good on the pre-op diet, but getting nervous on the surgery.

Just stay focused on what you are doing on Pre-op by eating right. I will be a 100% boost in your recovery state. Lots of Protein and take all your Vitamins. Have gas-x, Liquid Tylenol just in case. Make sure you have a heating pad and know where it is. I plugged mine on one day and checked it out. Have ice cubes for blender ready. Any food panty shelves, please use those for your lapand food items. For a few days you won"t feel like bending over, believe me. Being single, I purchased a pickup objects from Walgreen. It's mostly used by people who cant bend over and picks up lots of things off the floor/rub.

Best wishes on you day. It will be here quickly!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
