Hi tainabj, I had surgery on the 4th all went well came home the same day. I wasn't really in any pain just the gas pressure in my back for a few days. Getting up and down hurt a little at the port site but it really wasn't bad at all. Congradulations on your date . Dr. Steinburg has a support group at dekalb medical. Right now I'm struggling trying not to over eat before I get my 1st fill this is pure hell I'm hungry!

I can imagine just what you are saying. I got banded yesterday & came home today. I am hungry already (lol). I am on the 3 wks liquids. Wow, this will be challeging. I have some gas pains & a little tenderness, but hopefully all will be ok in a few days. I will basically be doing this on my own; my 1st fill will be in about 4 wks too. How have you managed? :laugh:

Hi tainabj Dr. William Johnson at Atlanta Bariatrics is doing my surgery. What Dr. are you using? I actually went today and signed my consent form eight days left to the big day.:thumbup:

Sorry ATL38 for just responding. I am still getting aquainted with this system. I am scheduled for surgery Dec 30, with Dr. Scott Steinberg in Decatur. I think you have already had your surgery now... How is it going for you-I now you must be excited. I am looking for a spt grp here in the area where we can maybe get together over a healthy lunch and sure our experiences...

I just saw the post too for the meeting in mcdonough. I've recently moved to this area. My surgery date is Dec.4th. starting to have a case of the nerves. Its really gonna happen.

Who is doing your surgery. I too plan to have surgery in Dec or Jan.

Wonderful, inspiring story. Thanks so much for sharing. You look great! It is also great to see you made a new friend while traveling this journey.
