Hi everyone, I am 6 days post op and doing alright. I was banded at Scott and White in Temple, Texas on 4/24/08. I have been checking this website out for a couple weeks and it has been really helpful. I am still in some pain especially at the port sight, but not too bad I am trying to quite taking the meds. I am finally starting to get hungry and that worries me, I do not want to start to overeat already!! I am like everyine else and can't wait for the weight to come off, but so far I have only lost about 8 lbs, still about 70 to go. Good Luck to everyone and let me know how your journey is going:thumbup:
