Banded and SO Happy I could just...



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone.

It is almost like a dream come true for me. I finally have my band (Oct 29th), and am now home trying to work the gas through my system. What has been wonderful is that I have read all of your posts and experiences and knew that everything I was experiencing was NORMAL (because of the info on this message board).

Anyway, I am so inspired, I decided to start a blog and capture my adventure.. so please visit my story below..

The only downside to all of this is that I did leave the hospital heavier than I arrived.. I know this is probably fluids and GAS (ha ha).. Belly is swollen, but hopefully with time this all goes away...

Be well

I too was banded on Oct 29th...so far so good...tough first night at the dr gave me codiene which does not agree with me, so I am now just taking Tylenol every 4 hrs. I look forward to the journey and am greatful for all of the posts and inspiration...it took me a year to get insurance approval and now I am finally here and counting the days to spring break to go on a long awaited hike with my family.:Yawn: Good luck to you and I look forward to reading your blog.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
