I was banded on June 7, 2012, I've lost 25 pounds since the start of my journey. My biggest problem is not knowing what to eat, how much to eat and if I'm getting the proper nutrients from what I eat.

Had my surgery on June 7, 2012, I experienced minor pain during my stay in the hospital. It was went I went home I started having heart burn and gas pain. I've been home for 1 month and a day, I haven't been pain free since before the surgery. I went to the hospital, because I fainted, have no energy nor could I drink fluids without it feeling like I was swallowing knives. The doctor drained some fluid out of my port (I didn't even know they filled it) and put me back on liquids. I have no one to talk to about the constant pain, lack of energy, poor appetite, over sleeping I've been going through. I'm really trying not to regret my decision for having this precedure done. Any advise would greatly be appreciated.

I had all the necessary testing done after the surgery and the results were fine. I have my surgeon on speed dail, that's how much I call them. Also, I failed to say that I got the band plus the plication done. Maybe it's taking my body a little longer to adjust to all this since I've never had any kind of surgery prior to this.
