Well folks, I am officially banded for life!! I had surgery yesterday and all went very well. I am sore a bit in the abdomen area which is normal, some slight gas pains but not near what I expected and can get back on regular liquid diet starting at noon today for two weeks. They have 3 cc's in my band currently doc told me. I am only drinking water till noon in small amounts. That was very difficult last night as I felt it going down the whole way and chest felt very tight. I gues this is normal as I know your insides are all swollen from the surgery, so don't think anything is wrong. This morning I am able to swallow water a little easier so that is a good sign. Will try one of my shakes later today and see how that goes.

Anyway, overall so far so good and the healing process has begun. Talk to everyone soon. Have a Great Day!!:thumbup:

yay! you and me, both! I had mine on Monday and felt pretty good throughout the entire process. Keep up the good work!

Congrats on your new band as well. Glad to hear you are doing well so far also. Best of luck and keep us posted!!
