I asked Dr. Miranda if it was ok to have a drink or 2, My friend was getting married and i had a bachelorette party and a wedding to go to. She said it was fine as long as it was not cabonated,I did and everything was fine.

I was on a pre-op diet before my Surgery, so i didnt get to enjoy any of the food ,but my husband had Dinner at the Mexican Place in the Lobby and he said it was great, they also serve broth for the day after. Good Luck with your Surgery

I was allowed chicken, beef or veggie broth, popsicles,and apple or grape juice diluted,1/2 juice 1/2 water. Good Luck on your Surgery, I will be driving in today for my first fill in the morning. Wow your husband will have a great time at the game GO PACKERS!!

I will be going for my first fill on September 14th and 15th.

Good Luck !! You will be fine. Jeanette

i will be there for my 1st fill Sept 14-15, See you there. Jeanette

What part of Texas are you from? Jeanette

Welcome, Congrats on your decision. Jeanette

I was banded on August 4th, I was a bit worried about being in pain, and i am a big Baby. I was happy that after the surgery i was in almost no PAIN it's mostly discomfort and soreness, that was almost gone after week 1. Week 2 was way better just sore on my left side around the port insision. Week 3 im 98% ok everything is back to normal, and for the most part i feel great. As for the gas pains, be sure to take GAS X strips they sell them at wal-mart they worked wonders for me. And last they tell you to walk alot, this really helps especially when you get the gas pains going up your shoulder , just walk ,walk ,walk i did for about 15 minutes on the treadmill and the pain went away. I wish you the best of LUCK on your surgery, and i hope for a quick and painless recovery. Today is the last day of my Full liquid diet and i have lost 34Lbs, So it was well worht the discomfort.

I must of have Dr. Miranda on a good day she was great with me, I have called her several times with tons of questions and she has always been wonderful.

See you on August 4 th, Wishing you and your wife the best of LUCK and a quick recovery. Jeanette
