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.

Good luck to all of you! Wishing you a joyous journey along the way. You'll be in recovery faster than you know and you'll wonder why was I so scared!

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.

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?

[tigers1998 35]

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.
