I am banded

not2big42long · March 26, 2004

Well I have finally joined the bandsters. I am surprised how well I feel today. I had my procedure on 3/24 and yesterday (3/25) I felt less than perfect. But today (3/26) I am feeling great. A little sore but good. I was so impressed with the after care at the hospital. They talked to me quite a bit about the band and were so positive about the choice I made to have it done. The second day I had a nutritionist visit me and explained all about the diet, and then they had the bariatric counselor come talk to me to answer any questions I might have and let me know about the support groups they have available. It was great, I felt very cared for.

Hooray, I'm on my way:banana

CONGRATULATIONS!! And welcome to bandlandia, Kathy!! It sounds like your surgery went well and you're well on your way to healing. Now just be good to yourself and take it slow with the eating, and before you know it it will be time for that first fill.

You're off and running!!

Congratulation, Kathy. It's great to hear you are feeling so well. Just remember that even though you feel great, you are still healing, so take it easy. Glad to hear you got such good information and support at the hospital.
