Day One

This is my first entry on my first blog ever. I was just banded yesterday, and so far am feeling very good. Just some soreness on the left side of my abdomen and some discomfort by my shoulder where I think some gas got trapped. Drinking liquids and doing all the stuff I am supposed to do.

 

Why did I get the band? I got the band to hopefully start to undo the damage done by 7 years of overeating that I couldn't undo through dieting. I did it because I couldn't do it by myself anymore. I did it because I am tired of hiding from mirrors and photographs. I did it so I could have some pride in myself again. And, so far, I am glad I've done it and grateful to be on the journey back to myself.

You will get better every day.. the gas will eventually go away... I used a heating pad on my shoulder and took some tylenol.. didn't take pain meds.. but some people have to. Good for you for taking this step before you had too many years of damage.. I am 66 and I had been overweight for at least 20 years.. I wish I had taken control back then. it's never too late though and I am very happy that I chose the lapband...The journey will be worth it.. Good Luck
