I got banded on 10-3-2012. All is going great

I am new to this site.

hi i had my surgery on 10-3-12 and i am already done around 12 pounds. i started out at 212 and i am at 199 now.

i had my surgery on october 3, i had only a couple days of pain. i had to go home with O2 for 4 days due to the doctor finding a hernia and adding co2 so it was a little painful to breathe in deeply. it felt like i had air bubbles in my chest. it is important to walk as soon as you can and use the incentive spirometer as ordered by the doctor. give your stomache time to heal. do not push to eat regular foods real fast. i did clear liquids for 4 days. i am currently progressing to a soft diet. i had one scrambled egg and a 1/4 cup cottage cheese and i was full. this is exciting for you and i hope all goes well for you
