MRODDE1 4 Posted July 29, 2013 This is my first surgery too. That is why I am nervous. I know I can do it though. All they keep on telling me is walk so that you heal faster. 1 somedaythinjessi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigers1998 35 Posted August 3, 2013 Banded July 10. Hands down the best decision I made. Also my first major surgery. To all the preops get your mushies and liquids in advance. Wear something comfortable to surgery, take your gas meds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angel11 126 Posted August 3, 2013 Thank you Tiger1998, for the advice! So HAPPY to hear it was the best decision you made ; ) I need all the advice, I can get ; ) Do you drink Protein Shakes? If so, what brand & where did you buy them at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigers1998 35 Posted August 3, 2013 I drink AdvantEdge shakes. You can get them at most major chain grocery stores. I buy mine from Wal-Mart. Feel free to ask me anything. I will answer as best I can. I have done a lot of hilarious stuff since surgery and I keep a blog about all my experiences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
