Swelly Belly

[Sue Magoo 71]

My 2nd band was put in on Tuesday. I'm way more swollen today than yesterday. Can you newbies tell me when the swelling started to leave you? I'm planning to go back to work on Monday (desk job), however I'll have to buy some bigger blouses if it's not down yet.

Please let me know which day you saw improvement.

I love my new band and look forward to it being my belly cop.

Sorry about your swelling, Sue, but I am glad your surgery is over and you did fine, except for the swelling.

Why did you need a 2nd band put in, I've never heard of that before, unless there was a problem with your first one?

Don't you have any loose fitting tops? Hopefully you're just full of air right now and the swelling goes down very shortly!

Good luck

I had a small slip that was very stubborn about moving back into position. Just wouldn't do it!

So, band number 2 just shy of my third bandiversary.

Thanks for the explanation. I was worried about that at the beginning, because I felt like I was eating way too much food, but they've assured me it's in the right spot.
