Hey all you folks banded in the last week. I felt kind of crummy the first week. Sore, gas pain, shoulder pain, tiredness. But I am at the end of week 2 and feel really good. So, keep your chins up, you can make it.

I am still on the liquid diet for another week. It was difficult to have Soup while everyone else was eating and drinking on Christmas, but I made it. I thank God for the strength. Anyway, it is all worth it. When I look at the other people on this site who have been banded for a while and are doing so well, and look so good, I know I made the right decision. Good Luck to all.

Hello I would like to join the December bandsters. I was banded December 20th. I live in Windsor, CO and had the greatest surgeon (and his office staff are wonderful too) Dr. Micheal Johnell Greeley, CO.

I am doing well. Got my post op check up today and everything is going well. Yippee I made it and I am a bandster.

I got a patch behind my ear they said it was for motion sickness and also helped with nausea. They said like you would use on a cruise. But the wrist band thing sounds neat. Does it help??

Hi ladies,

I did it, got banded yesterday. no nausea, very little pain. I cant belive it! I'm banded, yahoo!!!.

I had very little pain, no nausea wants so ever. I can not shower for 48 hours (smelly lol) I will have a sponge bath. I have a little pain on one incision site ( I bet its the port) but it is tolerable. I need to buy a few things at Walmart, creamy Soups, yogurt suger free items (I know, I had the list of items to buy ahead of time, but didnt do it) I think it will feel good to get out a little.

I hope my fellow lap-B's are recovery well

:rolleyestomorrow (dec. 28th) is my surgery. 12:30. i haven't done well on the pre diet that you have suppose to do before the surgery. i don't do well when i'm starving. i'm excited and scared.

i hope i can recover fast and i don't regret doing this. pray for me. i wish my surgery was early in the morning, i'm afraid they might want me to stay the night in the hospital and i don't want to.

has anyone else not done well with the pre diet requirements?

you will do great, I dont know how many lap-B's are christian, but have faith in Jesus and you will have a great outcome. I was actually watching EWTN at the hospital. I went into surgury with peace in my heart

and if you do have nausea, they have meds. actually the sleeping Doc gave me some before surgery.

God bless you

I ahd my surgery last week(12/21). All the emotions you are going through are totally normal. Relax and remember your HEALTH will benefit from dropping the weight. I wanted to back out hours before surgery. In less then a week I have lost weight. I ws up and walking within 2 hours of surgry and never looked back. Minor discomfort, everyone is different. I never needed pain meds. Others do. Listen to your body. I had to stay in the hospital overnight becuase of sleep apnea.

As far as teh diet is concerned, I didn't have a pre-op diet. I only had to be on Clear Liquids for 24 hours prior to surgery.Make sure you stick to it today.

I have not had nausia. I wasn' interested in food at all until yesteray. But I forced myself to get some protien in a couple times a day.

Good luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes.

      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.

      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.
