I just found out about this site after I had been banded on monday!

Before everything I weighed 280...

pre op I got down to 271

and Right now only 3 days after surgery im down another 4 lbs and im at 267

This is really exciting!

I'm healing fine, I can still feel myself recovering and not being as energetic as before surgery, but im slowly making my way back towards normal activity.

Congrats on getting your band! I'm scheduled tomorrow morning at 8am - very scared but also excited. I'm in Cincy as well - with Dr. Curry. Who did your surgery? Any advice now that you're a few days in?

:welcome2: BandedinCincy,

I was also banded in Cincinnati, but it has been about 9 weeks ago. It sounds as though things have gone well for you so far. My surgeon was Dr. George Kerlakian at Good Sam. I had my second fill 6 days ago. Good luck and welcome to Bandland!

Banded in Cincy,

That is incredible! I (and many others) came home from the hospital 10 pounds heavier because of all the extra fluids from the IV's. Those 10 pounds stayed with me for 8 days!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
