    Reporting back, banded today

    I had my surgery on Aug 8th.. The pain was horrible. I stayed overnight in the hosp and they were giving me pain shots every hour. by the 3rd day the only pain i had was the gas pain and alot of walking has helped that. I was thinking like you at first why did I do this to myself but today i have just a little discomfort in the port area and Im glad ive done this. Ive lost 5lbs since surgery.. just hang in there it does get better.
  2.

  4. My surgery is tomorrow 8/8/08 im really nervous but know this is the best thing for me at this time..Im having surgery at Ellis Hosp in Schenectady NY. Im 48 years old and Have been over weight most of my life.. alot of people ask why im doing this.. they dont understand how many diets ive been on and they dont work.. they dont know my medical conditions.. they dont know how sad i am when i see my grandchildren out playing and all i can do is sit and watch them.. SO i guess im here to find people who will understand me.. and share my experience with them as I go through this procedure.
