March 2013 Surgery Dates?

[JennB1869 12]

Today will be the start of day 6 of my preop diet and I've only lost 4 lbs. I'm pretty disappointed! I'm following everything exact except maybe not getting enough fluids but that shouldn't make me heavier' date=' right?

I'm super excited for surgery on Tuesday though!!![/quote']

I only lost 6 at my 2 week pre op appointment

I don't know your situation, but the health benefits of not being obese were a selling point for me. High risk of heart disease including high blood pressure and cholesterol and also diabetes can be treated effectively by reducing excess body fat to a healthy level.

My wife has been banded for just over a year and has lost just over 70lbs. I am scheduled for the 20th as well. I wanna see my kids grow up.

Hi all! I just had my surgery on 3/8/13... Doing really well. I'm not a first time bander, this was actually my second revision. My first surgery was in 2006, 1st revision 2010 and this current one. I am stil glad that I started this journey... You will all be thrilled! My band is the best thing that has ever happened to me! I have lost since Surgey #1 130lbs! My goal is to drop about 20-25 more... My biggest words of advise... Follow doctors orders and start exercising ASAP! Good luck to u all!

I hope I feel better tomorrow, the port side pain is horrible, and my stomach is so bloated and tight feeling. I feel no hunger, I feel full to bursting. I have been sipping Water, Protein Shake, slim milk &v8 throughout the day and have napped quite a bit. No nausea so that's a plus.

Anyone else finding it hard to burp? It's so annoying!

Readyforthin.... I have no idea... I think my first slip may have happened bc of doctor error. I swirched Surgeons since then. I am thrilled with this guy! My doctor fixed the slip the first time and warned me it could happen again. This slip was the most painful thing ever and my revision was not planned it was an emergency surgery. I have to say though.. This is the best I have ever felt after surgery. Good luck to u:).
