I was banded today, 1/19/2011,in San Antonio by Dr. Wright at the True Results clinic. I had such an amazing experience! I arrived at 8am and signed some paper work, and was immediatly taken back to get prep for surgery. The nursing staff was so friendly and the doctor came by several times to make sure all my questions were answered. My surgery was scheduled for 10am and actually started at 10:30, I thought that was pretty god timing. I remember waking up in recovery at about noon and was on my easy home by 1pm.
I have (knock on wood) had no gas pains but the puncture wounds are very tender. I have been able to hold down liquids and have no feeling of hunger. I think I am off to a great start.
