Miki71 21 Posted April 23, 2013 Good luck to all of you getting banded tomorrow. I'm right behind you on the 24th. It's my first step towards a positive change and improved self image... I can't wait to get through this. I know that the worst of the surgery will be over before I know it (2 weeks on shakes went by quicker than I thought it would)! All the best! 1 marlena_marie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaymelouwho 0 Posted April 23, 2013 I had surgery on the 18!! I was back with friends by the 21! I went to the gym (live in AZ and we are already in the 90s) today and did some walking. I'm feeling great! but trying to stay with the post op week one diet is driving me crazy... I want to eat, and all of the Protein Shakes are starting to taste awful. My first appointment isn't until June!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoldiLocks66 13 Posted April 23, 2013 If you would have asked me Fri, Sat, Sun, or before 1:00 yesterday I would have said don't have it done! Of course I had mine done Fri and was back at school Mon morning. I ran a low grade temp for a few days too. But around 1:00 yesterday I started feeling better. Except for the pain in my left shoulder, the occasional gas pain in my stomach, and the restriction I'm feeling so much better. I'm black & blue and my port site is tender but I'm so glad I did this!

victoriously 21 Posted April 24, 2013 I had mine today. I am at home and feeling miserable. I'm in a lot of pain. I walked around my living room a few times and that was painful. My back and my stomach hurt. Hope it gets better soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miki71 21 Posted April 24, 2013 I'm having my surgery tomorrow morning. I'm hoping the post-op pain is not too bad. Hopefully the pain and discomfort pass quickly. I have four days to recover and then go back to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miki71 21 Posted April 24, 2013 Good luck! I'm scheduled for 9:20am. I slept like a rock... for some reason I am not too worried about this surgery. Hopefully that's a good sign. 1 CanCan1791 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
