I was banded on 2/27/08 and I was really regretting my decision. I am still having a lot of pain by my port. I keep thinking is did I do the right thing???? My husband thought I could do this without the surgery but I failed so many other times. I would lose 30 lbs and gain back 40 lbs. Today is the first day that I am starting to feel like me again. My motivation is that I am down 25 lbs (15 pre-op and 10 post-op). I will not fail at this! I can not fail at this! Thank you all for putting yourselves out there. Listening to your stories and experiences has helped me get through this first step in my journey to be thin again.

I was banded on 2/27 and had a similar experience. Here I am almost a week later and still not feeling great. I had a post op visit today and everything is healing ok. My doc decided to take me off the pain meds because I have been very nauseous. Last night I was really regretting my decision to do this. I hope that feeling goes away.

I was banded on 2/27/08 and I am feeling awful. When do you start to feel better? I didn't expect this. I feel like I have a 5 year old sitting on my chest and I pulled my neck out by trying to get up.

Thank you for the feedback. I am so glad I found this website.
