I just had mine on May 12, the gas was painful but other than that I am doing great! I am now 3 days post op and walking around the house with only mild cramping!
You can do it!

Hi Lisa! Congratulations on your date!!! Lucky you, no pre-op diet..... I am on day 8 of 12 of opti-fast, then 2 days clear liquids before I get my lapband on May 22nd. This board is an awesome place for support- lots of nice people sharing the experience at the same time. I hate to be nosy but if you don't mind my asking, why did you have to get your band removed? That's every bandster's nightmare scenario. Anyway, good luck to you!!!

I am doing well actually. I have had this type of surgery twice now (band placement and then removal 2 years later). I am sure I will get more anxious when the date draws nearer! I don't have a pre-op diet other than watching what I eat between now and surgery.

Wow, Tuesday! I'll pray all goes fabulously. Please keep us updated on your progress!

It's a good place and I found some great tips and advice.  I'm having the RNY on Tuesday! I can't believe it.  I was freaking out but I am calmer, now.  It's all really come together fast, I'm lucky, I know people wait a long time for this opportunity.  How are you feeling?  Do you have a pre-op diet?

Yours,

Dana

Hi everyone! I have done some reading on this board and it's so nice to be amongst others who are preparing for surgery too! I am scheduled to have the RNY on May 27th and I can't wait! I had the band to begin with but had to get it removed in March. Now I am taking a different path and praying it's the right one this time.

God bless and see you on the losing side!!
