Hi tiger....I have such great band pals we have still been chatting in pre operation chats.....I was banded July 11th and every day I feel better and better, I am very positive and optimistic and so excited to see how I transform from hard work in the next few months. My goal is to be 50 pounds lighter or more by Christmas.

That's awesome penny...I'm down 12... What do the incision marks look like? I have 5....4 small ones and then the larger one where the port is...did it hurt? Are there stitches under the tape?

Hello July Banders: I'm July 17th (1 day from today) and I'm nervous but ready... Here's to us having a great July post-op! Looking forward to sharing our journeys.

Bill white and brown how do you guys feel? Any pain or discomfort still? Bringing sexy back you're in for a fantastic journey? Chapstick, ear plugs, heating pad, gas x strips are all must haves for the days of surgery and after!

Banded 7/11 - pain is mild to moderate at this point. Trying to ween off pain meds. Need to clear my head for work. Absolutely starting stool softeners tomorrow after a miserable experience today.

Banded July 3rd and NO MORE GAS PAIN. Feeling great!

Banded July 12th. Absolutely starving all the time. Sick and tired of Popsicles and broth. Gas pain pretty severe still. All I know is, I can't just do liquids for another 12 days.

Are you able to drink Protein shakes as well at this point? I'm hungry but not starving and I think the Protein is helping a lot n
