Glad to see more activity!
Hi Shelly. I am getting banded Oct. 29th. Just scheduled it today. I know we will both do wonderful. I too am willing to listen to any advice or words of wisdom.
I would have loved you, except for that go cowboys thing (Just Kidding)

Hi Shelly,
Congratulations on your up comming surgery. I was banded 8/22/08 and I have not had any complications. The best advise is to follow your physician's plan on the time lines for eating: clear fluids, soft foods , etc. I followed mine to a "T" and did great.
Also as soon as you can and are cleared, begin your exercise routine.
Best of wishes for you and the others who are being banded this Otober. God bless you all.

I had my surgery last week and the only bits of advise I can offer you all is to follow exactly what your surgeon and nutritionist say. I haven't had any problems with the foods at all and only had the gas pains the day of surgery and the day after. When you guys have them make sure to walk them off, it doesn't make them go away completely, but it makes them less painful.
My surgeon also told me that a lot of people are starting to pick the Realize band now, so that might be why the boards are getting busier. Either way I am happy, I want to be able to talk to my fellow Realize bansters here.
