Hello and thanks for replying. I made a mistake, I got banded the 23, but that's just a technicality. lol First off, none of my bandages have fallen off, though I have painstakingly been working on loosening them before my first DR's appt tomorrow, have yours fallen off? I have been constipated (sorry about this part) and finalloy got permission to take a laxative (I had been doing the stool softener route). I am also having rouble getting those Unjury protein drinks down the last 4 days, and I'm still awfully swollen above the largest inscision site. Now while all these things are happening, I surprisingly don't feel all that bad. How are you feeling? Sammi
