oceangirl6 0 Posted March 3, 2011 thank you Cincy!! I though tthe same thing on a few things I have posted on this site. How can you have hundreds of people read your post and not get one reply is what I kept thinking. Then I move one and just read alot. I was banded 3 days ago and I am back to work today. I have been very tired and sore, but for the most part each day I feel better and better. I have a couple people that I write back and forth to on here that have been banded on the same day or right before me and we support each other in that area. I am happy to be that friend to you as well? Friend me and send me a message if you would like to kick Fat's ass together! I wish you nothing but success!!

Hang in there. This battle can be lonesome, but the rewards are great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oceangirl6 0 Posted March 3, 2011 THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH WAS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE A QUACK LOL For the rib pain, I had it too and it came whenever itwanted too and had nothing to do with food or drinking, I would put my arm up across the couch and kinda lean on the couch on the side that hurt, if that makes sense... But it went away after the fourth week, knock on wood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

123crod 170 Posted March 4, 2011 Sad no one replied, but you need a support group also or a Band Buddy. A real person who knows you and will talk to you when you need help and support. Let this place be your second or third support source. I made several friends that I met on the board here that live in my area and we started our own support group. I talk to at least one of them sometimes both everyday. What is interesting is that one of the friends I met on here, when she first came to the meeting at Starbucks we all talked a hour or so when we dicovered she was my childhood best friend and we had not seen each other in 35 years. Now we are back together and working the band. Cheri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oceangirl6 0 Posted March 5, 2011 THANKS TRISH! I AM DOING BETTER NOW, AND WHINING LESS LOL I AM DRIVING. WENT TO THE BEACH YESTERDAY AND WALKED FOR AN HOUR BACK TO WORK ON MONDAY GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BOY OH HOW I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS. MY BOY IS GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE THIS YEAR! IT GOES FAST TAKE CARE AND BEST OF LUCK JANEY Oceangirl. I don't always have a lot of time to read all of the posts. i usually can hit the top 5 or 6 because I am trying to get in as many steps on my pedomiter as I can. I think we were banded the same day. If I can answer any questions or if you need someone to talk to about anything, look me up on Facebook. My name is under Trish Smith and there is a picture of me and my husband on there. I get posts sent to my iphone so I can answer them while I am walking. Good luck girly poo. We are on our way. My pain is mostly gone but I noticed it hurts like heck to drive. Not a good thing since my son gets his driving permit in the morning and is just waiting for me to have a twinge of pain show on my face so he can drive.
