So my surgery was yesterday 8/3 and it went well. I did the single incision lap band surgery and it doesn't look so bad. I hardly have any pain either. I am so happy to start this new journey! I wasn't nervous at all...even once I was in the operating room. I was excited. The Dr.s did a great job. I had broth and Jello so far...yummy lol! I was able to walk once the affects of anethsia went away, and I got up all night to use the bathroom various time without any help. The worse part was the nausea after the anethsia...after they gave me meds for that I was pretty good. My pain from a scale from 1 to 10 was about a 3 and not constant pain, just when i moved to certain positions. I am so glad I am over with the surgery, but I have a feeling that this was the easiest part lol...:blink:

Hey, what is the single incision thing, I thought they need to make a few little incisions? I have a final appt with my doctor tomorrow, guess this is something I need to ask about!

I was banded on the 3rd too, and I didn't really have any pain either. I am glad that it is over and ready to get on with the weight loss.

Congrats on becoming a bandster! Where did they make your incision? Is it by the belly button? I think the single incision thing is cool, but I am not worried about it because a couple scars will go blend in nicely with my stretch marks.. lol. Congrats again and hope you heal fast!

      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.
