Hi. I'm new here, banded two days ago

[JanB23 23]

Banded 4 days ago. I lost 11 kilos (24lbs) pre op - as requested to reduce the size of my liver. Came out of hospital 2 kilos heavier. Today however my weight has dropped and and i am down a kilo on pre op.

Wish i had done this before but didn't have the support and probably wasn't ready to make the commitment required to be successful. Turning 50 shook me up and with a strong family history of diabetes i decided it was time to improve my health.

Looking forward to not worrying if i will fit into the seat on the plane or at the theatre!

hey gals- i am two weeks post op tomorrow and been having this pretty intense pressure pain right in the middle center of my chest. any ideas?? is that too high for the band?? or i also had a hiatal hernia repair?(could that be it) i dont have to eat anything for it to bother me-sometimes first thing in the am its already bothersome especially when i bend over??
