You should be so proud of yourself! Way to go :banana

Thanks for the "shout-outs" everyone! Its been a rough day - I've been hungry all day . Is this normal? Could it be that my post surgical stomach swelling has gone away & I haven't had a fill yet? I look at the progress on everyone's tickers & it is encouraging me to hang in there.

Congrats!!! :banana Best of luck. You're going to love your new life!

Congrats Victoriana!! Its an exciting journey. I was banded 12 days ago & I'm loving it!

DeLarla, So sorry to hear about your loss. I went through the same heartbreaking experience with my baby boy, Reese. I also had him for 15 wonderful years. I was 3 months pregnant with my first baby. I was so distraught, my family & friends were afraid that I would have a miscarriage. Please know that in time, it does get better. If you need to talk, write me any time.

Hey Texfella! I'm new too & also from Houston . I was banded on 11/17 & happy to say, so far, so good!!! Good luck to you!

Have you tried Dr. Robert Marvin? (713) 993-7124 Good luck!

Even though I was just banded on Nov 17th - I am THRILLED with my progress!!! I was up walking around 2 hours after surgery & hardly had to take any pain medication. Kept all of my fluids down & amazingly enough, my appetite was satisfied with the liquid diet for the first week. I'll be honest, day 2 after surgery was a little rough. I asked my family if they got the license plate of the truck that hit me! Day 3 was much better. By day 4, I went back to work. I would feel a little weak from time to time, but nothing that a protein shake didn't take care of. I really listened to my body - when I was tired, I would rest. I'm in the soft food stage now & continue to not have any problems. I hope that my experience, as little as it is, will encourage you. Best of luck to you.

Was banded on Nov 17th - it went great! A lot easier than I anticipated. No regrets! Best of luck to you!!
