Hi!! I'm so excited after reading through all the posts! I was banded 1 week ago from today and I'm down 10lbs!! I'm doing well and have adjusted pretty easily. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you through this site and I'm so excited there is a place to read through others experiences and learn.

HI Mrs. Jones

Welcome to the site. I am due to get banded and I'm looking forward to losing weight too. I am a little nervous but being on this site helps to calm me some. Is there anything you want to tell about your experience.

I am seeing Dr. Rex Luttrell at the Rivercrest Clinic in Little Rock, AR. Suprisingly, on my surgery day I was pretty calm. I wasn't nervous and the nurses were great. My tummy was a little sore after surgery and a few days after. I haven't had trouble transitioning from a liquid diet to soft foods. My only trouble is not eating enough. I go to bed with a tummy ache or I wake up in the middle of the night with a tummy ache. I realized after a few nights of this that I need to eat a cracker or two and then I would be fine. I haven't had my follow up appt., that is next Tuesday. I plan on discussing the hunger pangs with the doc. So pretty much my experience has been great! :biggrin:

You guys are amazing! I have not been banded yet but am seriously considering it. I would love to know all I can. Has it been a good recovery? Was it easy to get back to your normal routine?

I Got Banded On Feb 1. I Have Not Had The Weight Loss That The Rest Of You Have Had. I Am Not Sure Why Though. I Have An Appointment On The 19 With My Surgeon. I Am Hoping She Can Tell Me What Is Going On. Also, How Are Your Energy Levels? I Am Having A Hard Time With This. I Take Vitamins And Have More Than Enough Protien, But Still No Energy. It Worries Me. Do Any Of You Experince This?
