Glad to hear you are feeling better.

Thanks so much! Now I better get off here and rest.

First welcome and congrats! Everything you are feeling is normal. I felt all of those up to the minute I fell asleep on the operating table. I just got banded today and most of all those feelings are gone now. The worst part so far was the wait leading up to the surgery. I don't have any wisdom to share on life being banded yet, but this is a great place. The people here are supportive and helpful.

Congrats! Looking good.

Congrats and good luck to you! I was just banded today.

Congrats!

Congrats! I hoe your pain goes away soon.

Congrats! I just got banded today. I love to read these successes!

Hi, I was just heading in here to reply. I am doing pretty good. Glad to be home. Thanks for all your encouragement. I hope all is going good with you!

I am home. I was banded this morning in Toronto Canada, and headed back to Ottawa around 1pm (4.5 hr drive) and I was fine on the drive. No nausea, I had pain when I woke but the meds helped and the shoulder pain is subsiding nicely. I do have a strange poke hole that seems to be bleeding a bit on the front of my left shoulder? Any idea why they'd do that? I didn't notice it until I got home. Other than that 3 incision in my abdomen and they also repaired a medium hiatial hernia. I am now having a bit of throbbing soreness on my left side, but nothing terrible. Thanks for all the well wishes!

Glad to hear! I just got home.

Good luck! I am posting from the waiting room now!

Heading out now, omg I am freaking inside!

Arrived this afternoon. Now sitting in the hotel room waiting to go to bed as soon as I can! lol Yikes!
