I was banded June 11. I asked my surgeon to send me home same day. I came through everything good. Not ever surgeon does the surgery the same way. My surgeon took part of my stomach below my band and sewed it above my band to keep it from slipping. Another folds the bottom of the stomach in sews it together plus sew part of the bottom above the band. Check with the surgeon you choose.

great. when is your surgery? how are you feeling these days?

I am almost at 3 weeks and I still get belly aches after mealtime. If its nkt feeling right then wait til you feel better. Just hold in there.

My little victory today was I walked the Zoo the memorials and the museums. 2 months ago I wouldnt have been able to do it.

Thrift stores are amazing and great way to find smaller clothes. I also shop off season. I can usually find sweaters for about $5 and summer clothes in the winter for $2. I have friends who have lost alot so she is giving me clothes as I get smaller.

I feel so lost. What is the green zone?

I hate my stomach. It is constantly hurting. i tried eating some yogurt and i was not ready. i crawled to the bathroom. i want this to go away.

Tomorrow is the big day. I am preparing for tomorrow. butterflies. I am the first in my family and so this is uncharted waters. I will be up getting ready at 3:30am to go to the hospital. Praying for a quick release those around me are falling apart. You know women take care of everybody and it gets hard to fight for the time to make your life better.

I go in on Monday.

It took 2 days for my approval. I didn't send them all the detailed information. just a list And the dates. I wrote them a nice one page letter explaining how it woulf change my life while saving them money.
