Hi Coo:
My name is Francine and I was Banded on 9/24/07.....I feel great... Today alittle sore...but may have done more than my body could handle.....Surgery went really well... no problems, like you I didn't really tell any one about the weight loss surgery except my family... loosing weight, not sure of how much, I don't really want to get obsessed w/ the how much weight lost or the well why am I not loosing etc..... just going w/ the flow...You have good days and Sore days..Im not really hungry at all. I have to make myself drink my protien shakes, water,popsycles and my sf jello, the key thing is to drink, drink, drink, sip slowly... and walk, walk, walk it helps w/ the gas alot. Hardly use my pain meds. But the overall is I feel great, don't worry you will be fine and feel GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF, I had my surgery for health reasons.....But I know things wil get better w/ time..... Good Luck w/ your journey !!!!!!!
