Hello all!
I was just banded by Dr. Alan Posner in Buffalo, NY on the 7th (one day before my birthday). Surgery went well and 4 days out I'm feeling OK (not counting the gas, diahrea, bloating, and disgust of all "clear" liquids).
A little about me: I'm a 22 year old guy from Buffalo, NY. I am going to school and have a part time job to pay the bills. I love football, hockey, and all things computers. My highest weight when I first started seeing Dr. Posner was 433 :omg: but it was down to 396 the day of surgery. I found this website the other day out of boredom (sitting at home you can only watch the same movies so often). I'm glad I found a big forum to get/share some information.
As far as my questions/concerns at this point:
1) will this gassyness/diahrea stuff go away?
2) I don't plan on pigging out ever or stuffing myself but I would like to know that maybe someday I could enjoy 1/2-1 slice of pizza... if so how long until I can? (its hard being on liquids :biggrin1: )
3) I don't drink alcohol often/at all, but I do occasionaly like to meet the fellas down at the bar for a few drinks. I know it is not a good idea to drink alcohol, but if push came to shove is it going to be ok for me to eventually drink a few beers? And also same question for diet soda pop?
anyways, thanks for listening. Looking forward to meeting you all!
