Well, it's the day of surgery and my nerves are definitely in full effect. My surgery is at 11:00 Am so if you happen to look at the clock at that time keep me in your thoughts. This will be the first surgery I have ever had in my life and I am kinda freaked out. I will try to post on here after my surgery and let everyone know how it went. Thanks for all the advice and well wishes. This has been the most helpful and informative website I have ever been on.

You will do fine! Best wishes for your surgery and recovery. Remember, after surgery, keep hydrated, with small sips, and walk as much as possible to relieve the gas pressure they will pump into you. Karen

Will definitely be sending positive thoughts your way at 11! I understand your fear. I have never had surgery either so I will feel exactly the same way next Thursday! Can't wait to hear from you after surgery.

How exciting! This is the first day of the rest of your life :)

I'll send good energy at 11:00! Although, by the times listed on everyone's posts, I'm not quite sure what time zone you're in. Maybe three hours ahead of the west coast? No matter - positive thoughts coming your way! I look forward to hearing how you're doing. Good luck!!

Once you wake up in recovery, you will realize that the worst is behind you, and you can start making your life better... everyone has qualms about going into major surgery. You'll do fine!

Congratulations on making the decision to get banded. I'm at the beginning of the process, getting required appointments and such. It took me almost a year to make the decision to get the band. Looking forward to hearing how you are doing.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
