precious11788 7 Posted May 3, 2012 Hi everyone! Well tomorrow is my day, I'm feeling so many things right now. nervous, anxious, excited! I don't think i'm too nervous about the actual sergury, because i've had surgeries before. I'm more anxious about afterward. I'm praying for a speedy recovery, and i'm hoping that I can come on tomorrow night and tell you all my experiences so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brlgirl 112 Posted May 3, 2012 You'll do fine. I was banded exactly 1 week ago and despite some abdominal pain I feel great. I think that your positive attitude will help you through those first few days of recovery. Good luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phoebster 5 Posted May 4, 2012 Do u love it? How long have u had the surgery? Any Hair loss? ? I had surgery on April 24th ..I feel that eating slow you can feel your tummy is full, doesn't take much. I'm really happy I had it done. no hair loss, I do make sure I get all my Protein in any way I can that helps for hair loss and good health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
