Welcome and congratulations to all the new banders. I had a really good run with mine, no real side effects so if you are feeling good then you should continue to do so (of course don't take my word for it).

TOTALLY NORMAL! Most of us have all the same fears about surgery. We know there is some risk and that's scares us, but lots of things in life and worth doing are scary.

March Forward! In 24 hours it will all be behind you!

Crystal, Remember your journey will start after the surgery, but it's not necessarily going to be a quick trip.

There will be the possible post op surgery pain/gas to deal with for the first few days, plus a restricted post op diet to follow and then the fill process. Fill, get tight, become loose, get another fill and repeat, until you hit your right spot.

Not trying to be a downer for you, but really want you mentally prepared. For me, being mentally prepared for the process has been very helpful.

Good Luck. Check in when your surgery is complete.

HI Tracey,

I had my band on Friday. I have lots of gas pain as well. I'm still unable to drink more than a teaspoon of Water at a time. However, the stomach muscle pain has gotten a lot less.

      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?

      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.
