HI my name is Carla , I just had surgery at Surgical Weight Loss Center two days ago. i had the band done. and i know i'll be sore and gasy for a couple days but i'm having a hard time drinking or taking in any fluids is this quite normal? and everytime i burg it feels like Its getting stuck were my band is?? I did resource and  i can't find anything on if this is normal or not... I'm also looking for some one that will be a good support friend that is going though the same thing. Thanks 

Hello Barbara!   My advice is talk to anyone you can about it - read all you can about it - ask your doctor all the questions you can think of.... (and you'll probably still feel like you weren't prepared!)  Kind of like having kids!!  
Hope we can help when you need it! 

Hi Everyone.... I just found your group and can't wait to get to know everyone.  A little about me....I met with my Surgeon (Dr. Eid) 2 weeks ago.  I'm from the Pittsburgh, PA area.  I'm hoping to have my surgery sometime in May or June.  I'm so excited and scared at the same time.  I was introduced to my Nutritionist and brought home my new "Nutrition Bible", which I started to follow; limiting my intake and getting myself ready for my new life.  I look forward to learning and listening to you all and sharing whatever I can with you.  Happy Friday!!  

I also have to do better this week having alot of problems folowing the basics for some reason. Have to get my water in big problem since the weekend. I am going to just try one thing at a time.

I did not do great on my exercise and I'd like to use the weather as an excuse.. but it's not a good one.  I will do better this week!
