Greetings my bandsters. Well the surgery part of this journey has finally taken place. I was banded on Tuesday, August 4, 2009. I got to tell you it was not as easy as I anticipated. I am a pretty much get up and go gal and i simply could not get up and go. It wasn't the pain the the surgery sites, but the damn ansthesia that kept me down. I have to admit it was not a pleasant journey. I am now on day 4 to say I was feeling like my ole self again would be an outright lie. Although I am feeling about 70% better than I was on Tuesday and Wednesday, I have a little way to go. I would love to hear some experiences on recovery from many of you. I do not consider myself a slow healer but, man, this isn't going as fast as I would have liked. Some people on here say they went back to work after 3 days? How??? Good luck to you all and I look forward to hearing some of your expirences such as how long you felt bloated, how long it was where you could drink and it didn't feel like it was stuck in the middle of your esophogus (sp) etc. Have a happy day. I am looking forward to the next phase of this journey!:frown:
