5 days post op!

[Ms. Purt 16]

Omg! I'm feeling so much better today! ( it does get better) Still tired but no pain! Think the tiredness is due to my liquid diet! I'm sure that will get better with time. My incisions look great and some of the swelling is gone. No gas and I'm 15 pounds down from my pre op weight which was 304! I'm all :-)'s

Good for you.....congrats on the surgery, and the best of luck in your continued success

FYI, some of that tiredness is from the surgery. It's a major assault on your body, not to mention the anesthesia.

Way to go! I too found the recovery quite fast. Have a great day!

Yes, it does indeed get better. And when you start to feel the "zone" you will cheer with success. (The "zone" is when your pouch silently signals "enough," and you quit eating and do not clean what you have put on your dinner plate!). . . . . a few people never reach this, but I did, and at that point I no longer had fills put in my port. I do hope you experience this time in your journey as the feeling makes all you have gone through really worthwhile, and you will love your band! (I TRIED TO DELETE THIS DUPLICATE BUT IT KEEPS RETURNING!)
