I just had mine 9 days ago and have lost 14 pounds! The doctor saying that we could go to work on Monday after having it on Friday was not correct. You're taking pain medicine you can't drive with - but you need the pain medicine.

Good luck! Follow the guidelines and watch it fall off!

Woohoo Peace!!

How is it going so far?? 2 weeks tomorrow for me since I have been banded and I am soooo thankful.

Remember the next few days aren't so nice....but it gets much much better...Walk, walk, walk, sip sip sip, thats what they told me and I did very well during the healing process.

I just got home from the hospital! I'm officially banded. I'm very lucky that my pain is very minimal. My back and port site is the only thing aching. I don't want to sit down, I find standing up and stretching my arms up in the air relieves so much pressure. I tried using the heating pad, but it started making the pain worse, once I took of the heating pad I felt so much better. It looks like my cure is cold packs not heat. Still super dehydrated though.
