Now that you have been banded, what would you have done differently if you were a month away from banding? Are there any tips/regrets or prep you would do to make life a little easier? I've already started cleaning out the pantry....and, I've heard the post op liquid stool softener is brutal---------any alternative suggetions I can bring up to the doctor that are more tolerable? Thank you, all, who have some thoughts:redface: Judy

I have been banded since 4/7 and I think I have already made some mistakes. I am most concerned about stretching. I have experienced discomfort but thought it was result of just doing without pain meds, but after reading posts, I am worried. My question is, how does the stomach return to a smaller size? I am going for my follow-up surgery appt early this evening and plan to ask. I know I have been consuming too much, too frequently especially after looking at posts. I thought I was ready for this, but I guess there is more to the psychological part of this (not unexpected, just hard).

Hi, I was banded April 7th. Anyone else banded in April at Bassett Healthcare Clinic in Cooperstown, NY? Also, anyone who can help me with adding tickerfactory images? I have tried, with no success.
