Thanks! I'll add you

Much, much better. The one I had was a photo taken with my phone in my Dr's office.

Thanks to both of you for posting and sharing this info.

I am very curious about this myself

I was banded yesterday. My surgery was only 30 minutes. I always have a problem with anesthesia so yesterday sucked. I simply couldn't wake up. Pain and nausea kicked my butt. My surgery was scheduled for 2:30p. I had to be there at 1p. Nothing by mouth since the night bfore was the worse thing. The doctor was late so I was wheeled in at 3:15. I was on my way home by 6:50. I got home just before 8pm. Took my Gas X and my liquid Vicodin and went to bed. Holding a pillow against my abdomen while I slept with a pillow between my knees made me comfortable and I was able to sleep for nearly 7 hours. This morning I feel much better. No longer cloudy and I am moving around better. My abdomen still hurts but is tolerable.

Oh ok, thanks for sharing that with me. I'm glad you are feeling better. Congratulations! You are on your way. I hear a lot about the gas x that sounds like a must-have. Wishing you a very speedy recovery and life-long success keep me posted on your progress, it'll be great to see your transformation.

I from the far south suburbs. De Ellis did my surgery yesterday.

How did it go?

Hi, I'm from chicago. I had my band done at Mercy back in Sept, of 2011.

Awesome! Hi! nice to meet you. How was your experience? Please add me as a friend It doesnt seem to be too many Chicagoans on here and if there are, they dont want to talk to me...it'll be nice to communicate with someone who is from my home town.

Hi All,

My surgeon is Dr Elli at The University of Chicago Hospital. Is there anyone here from Chicago?

Welcome!

Thanks

hi and welcome!!!

Thank you! nice to meet you

New here, wishing everyone good luck on their journey

Hi all, are there any people here from Chicago?

I'd say, keep it between you and the people you love. Share with those you know will not judge you harshly and those who will support you wholeheartedly. Good luck!

Your skin cannot be exercised or toned up but if what is under it is larger(muscle or fat) it will be less saggy. For butt' date=' squats and more squats...[/quote']

I'm aware of that, maybe I should've phrased my sentence differently. I was just stating my concern. Thanks for your feedback. Squats are a great idea!

Thank you all for the feedback, it's greatly appreciated

I'm concerned about having saggy butt skin. Are there exercises that helps with that?

Is it possible to have perky breast after weightloss of 100lbs or more? What exercises helps with the pec muscles?

Thanks a lot to you all

What are some good Vitamin brands that has worked for you all? Are gummies required?
