well its been lil over a month since banding date and i can honestly say i feel great. I was very lucky i did not suffer much the first few days afterwards. no gas pains, weird sounds, etc. easy peasy and i am so grateful for that. I had the surgery done on a friday and went back to work the following tues. Probably could of went back on monday but i had already scheduled it off so i just took it. I have lost 21 lbs when i went to the doc office they said they would not put a fill in their for me until my weight stalls or gains. But thats okay cause i do feel some restriction and im not usually to hungry. Im paranoid about doing something bad to it though. I did not see my doc for my check up but one of the fellow intern surgeons he checked my port and gall bladder to make sure all was okay. Im kinda unhappy about not seeing my doc but he was still in surgery so i understand. I have his email address so im gonna email him some questions i have. Ive been told he responds promptly so here's hoping. People are commenting already on my weight loss. Wow it feels good. im just under 220lbs right now and im hoping to lose another 10 or 15 by the time my husband comes back from field training sept 4th.(my b-day) I want to see how he likes the slightly thinner me LOL.. oh yea and collect my present:biggrin:

My next doc appt is in 2 mths which will be my 3 mth check up but if i think i need a fill before then i am soooooo going to call them.

All and all so far so good, im very happy with my decision. Each day is brighter for me because i know each day i am getting healthier.

Good job Army wife. I have my band this month, 2 weeks. I am excited. Hope mine goes as well as yours did. Congrats and here's to your good health.
