| How long after surgery did people start drinking alcohol again? I know there is a thread about this topic but it didnt really give any answers. |

Dreams,
we're going to be bandit twins! I have my date on the 4th of April too :-) Who is your doctor? Have you been thinking of the op for long? I'd really love to stay in touch. We April bandits should stick together!

Aly,
Everyday when I wake up, I wonder what the day will bring, will I be able to eat, will I pb all day, will I get enough fluids in. I know my life should not be all about the band, but it is. And... I wouldn't have it any other way!
Cheers... Mel |

| I'm so excited!! Had my first appointment today and my surgery is booked for 4th April!! My husband reckons that he has never seen someone so excited about surgery - but it's not just sugery - it's the beginning of a new life. Told my boss and he started asking more questions - about the band!! Then he approved my time off. It's great to be able to work from home - and have support around me at the same time. Can't wait and it's great to see a light at the end of a very ong tunnel. |

Hi Aly,
That is why I call it the magical mystery band... no one day is ever really the same.

Hi all,
life as a bandit is very fickle, yesterday couldnt eat as a hair and nail tablet got stuck, I managed to dislodge it and all was fine until tea time- fried rice and spring roll, usually no problems.....tonight, no go, couldnt tolerate it, Go figure, unpredictable.

Hi Dors...the answer is YES...problems are rare.
And some people deem some things as problems when it's just part of having a band.
People are more likely to talk about the bad than the good.
Read the NSV thread, that's a whole lot of positivity.

Hi All
I'm still deciding! I was okay until I met some ladies in the waiting room today who had all experienced problems, some major complications. So now I'm not sure! From reading this website, sounds like I just copped a bad day at the waiting room - do others think complications are rare? Would luv to hear from others about to take the plunge? Dors |

Hi Lizarbell
There are already individual threads for The Actual Surgery, Keloid Scars, What Do The Scars Look Like, Pain Under Left Rib, Shoulder Pain, which all have heaps of information on them. I've brought them forward. |

:) Hi Lizzy
There are seperate threads on shoulder tip pain....and one for gas, but otherwise named something like xrated but they get lost in oblivian.
If you could think of a creative name encompassing all of these things...go for it.
