Banded Yesterday, July 16Th.

Well I did it. And everything that I read so far is absolutely the truth. I feel the way the descriptions said I would. The pain on Day 1 verses Day 2 is still painful, but easier to walk. Wow, the pain over my left rib cage....very painful. I have liquid lortab, it doesn't help that pain, but it does relax me enough to where I am not moving around. It's very difficult to find a comfortabe way to lay day. It feels better for me to stand, but I am sooo tired. These are NOT complaints, just some facts. I am not hungry at all. I haven't eaten since Sunday afternoon, but I am sipping on my Water mixed with diet cranberry juice. I am sleeping on the couch because it is very painful to climb up the stairs. I am didn't sleep well last night because of the pain. I expect to have a rough couple of days, but the outcome will be worth it.

Very excited for you! My consult isn't until next week - but I keep telling myself the long haul will be worth it

Very exciting and a little stressful getting started. Good luck and keep up with some supports because that will keep you from getting discouraged. 
