I have been banded now for one week and 3 days and have lost a total of 16 pounds. I am still very very sore, but the doc says that is to be expected especially when they mess with your stomach, your muscles will be sore. Tonight I had my first bad experience with food getting stuck! OUCH!!!! I was eating an oven puffy pancake made with mostly eggs and apples and I didn't chew a slice of baked apple good enough, and the rest is history. I just forgot to chew, chew, chew and results were very painful! Never again! Or I hope I remember next time to chew better! So, didn't get to enjoy my husbands nice meal he made for me :thumbup:
:wub: I will be banded on September 14th, 2010. I am very anxious, nerveous, and scared! I hope this works for me as I have seen so many wonderful photos that I pray for the same results. I am a mother of two beautiful daughters ages 5 & 7 and I want my energy back to keep up with them. I am on the journey to finding "Me" again! I would love any friends along the way as no one in my family knows about this but my husband. He is so very supportive, but there are others that just "wouldn't get it". Hope we can join the journey together! Good luck everyone! I am so looking forward to this!
