Congrats to those that are on their way eff 3/7/08!!! I was also banded on Fri by Dr. Spiegel here in Houston. It was easy as pie. Woke up from surgery and immediately felt the gas in my left shoulder. Sitting up slightly in recovery helped immediately. Got to my room around 1:15, then to Radiology for my test. Upon return to my room I was ready to get up and walk that gas out! Nurse seem surprised that I willingly was ready prior to the hour that I was to rest. Got home Sat (worse day-soreness/gas-wise). Walked as often as possible. Slept on & off in between walking. Same for Sunday--couldn't resist a quarter size piece of chicken breast. Chewed it like crazy & ejoyed w/some chicken broth w/no problem. Returned to work on Monday! Am also not interested in sharing with the whole office. Only a handful of people know. No one has questioned why I'm drinking a slim fast for lunch yet. Also, I've noticed an increase of energy and am lovin' it!!! :thumbup: Good luck all & keep in touch! I'd love to share our success!!!
