Congrats on taking the first step, scheduling your surgery and asking some questions about the band to fellow bandsters. I have a blog that went over my personal journey from my decision to get the band, to chosing a surgeon, to surgery to fill and beyond.
I can only speak for myself, but for me, the band is pretty transparant. I have no feeling of it and with exception of the scars, I have no visual exterior cues that shows the band.
I'll be thinking of you next week when you get banded!

Does it feel like you have something around your stomach? Not sure if that make any sense but I am sure you all know what I mean.
The other thing that I am worried about is the port. Can you always feel it I side of you?
Anything you can provide me would be great.
Thank you

It's one of my favorites too. I'm glad to see you're doing well. I remember following your posts closely prior to my surgery because your was just before mine.

oooooooo!
This is a good one!
Thanks for sharing!
I'm going to make this over the weekend, and will probably throw in some fresh cilantro. -

I'm Dana and I'm getting my lapband surgery done at OCC on September 9th 2010. I've read almost all of the different question/answer topics that are on this site and are all very helpful, you guys rock! I am just wondering what happens on the surgery day and the day after? I admit I am a little nervous but excited all at the same time and if I knew what to expect I think it will take some of the pressure off of me! I would appreciate any information anyone is willing to give me on here and hope to meet new people that are/have gone through this journey!

In Topic: Liquids after 3rd Fill - Day 5
01 August 2010 - 02:59 PM
(((((((((((((((((((((Hugs Everyone)))))))))))))))))))))
I'm 80% into day 5. It's a miracle. Seriously. Now I just wish I would have had my head on straight 14 months ago. On a side note, I've just started to get a little stir crazy, not much. I still have an ISOPURE to have tonight. I think I'll feel better after I drink it. My old tapes are probably playing because I am thinking about food. I almost typed hungry, but...to be honest, I took a moment to think about it, and it's not tummy hunger. Not at all. (Ahhhh, why is my daughter behind me making Kraft Macaroni and Cheese...but more importantly why do I even care? I could barely eat pasta before, and it's not even worth the effort at this point.)
Maybe I'll pour the ISOPURE, leave the kitchen so I won't be tempted to do something stupid and take a bath. -
In Topic: 3rd fill suggestions on loosening it?
31 July 2010 - 04:00 PM
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Hugs Fellow Bandito)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I just had my 3rd fill too. I haven't tried solids yet...but it's because my fill Dr. asks that his patients wait 7 days before solids after each fill. I ended up with an unfill, I was immediately too tight and I was pb'ing before I left the office.
I'm cautiously optimistic things will be okay. My doctor did say to keep pineapple juice handy to assist if the food does get stuck. I had never heard of that before.

B2010, on 31 July 2010 - 10:53 AM, said:I've gotten my 3rd fill and feel major restriction - most likely too tight at this point. But remember hearing lindsey talking about hot sauce or something to open things up a bit. Since I just got the fill 2 days ago I want to give myself a few days of adjustment time and see if things loosen up a bit before I decide on an unfill.
anyone have any suggestions?
