Jacqui1 Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hi there!! I am officailly a bandster now. I had my surgery Wednesday, and everything went really well. The trip home to Florida from TJ was looong!! I was so uncomfortable on the plane, but that is a small price to pay for the results I will be getting. I loved the OCC, everyone there made you feel very welcome. Also, I want to thank all the other girls who were there with me, I was so nervous about being alone, but I never once felt lonely or left out. THANK YOU!! I got on the scale when I got home, and guess what? I am UP 2 1/2 pounds! I was so shocked since I have not had any food since Tuesday. How long was it before the rest of you saw a weight change? I have only had clear liquid at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Redhead Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Congratulations and welcome to Bandland. Don't worry about the weight gain. I gained 7 lbs from the time I left until I got home!!! It was all water weight. Keep sipping your water and it will come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flight home was probally the worse part of the trip but it seems they do not have much room for larger people especially when you are swollen and uncomfortable. We asked to upgrade but firstclass was full and also cost350.00 extra. WOW. Everything else seems to be going well though, I am down 2lbs since getting home =D> Let us know if your going back for your fill we would love to get together with you. Had a blast! Good Luck. :girl_dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some they are tough but you will do fine. Please keep us posted - we are here if you need anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allcdngirl Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Congratulations to all 3 of you. I'm really looking forward to following your weight loss with you. I have only 5 more sleeps until I'm banded. Wow... getting really close!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccermom Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi Jacqui ~ this is the other Jacque that had surgery the same day as you!! Don't feel bad my weight gain was 5 pounds of gas, but I totally felt it. I am also now down 10 pounds plus those 5 but I never really counted them to start with since I knew it was gas!

mom12 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 My question is how can gas make you heavier. Shouldn't it make us lighter like a balloon you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
