I have finally landed in Bandlandia. After almost a year of research and some complications enroute, I was finally banded on Monday, April 5. I am doing wonderful. Haven't taken any pain meds since leaving the hospital on Tuesday. I even had a 2 1/2 hour drive home and made it without any problems. :banana :banana

I am a little sore in the lower left part of my stomach but it's not bad. I also had some Constipation but milk of magnesia took care of that! I think I am just so happy to finally get banded that nothing can bring me down!

Your on your way

Is your port site on the left? I know the only site of mine that hurt was where they put the port. Glad to hear you are doing so well. Just remember what Alexandra said Take It Easy!!! I felt so well I just went back to my old routine, and then started feeling rundown, take it easy even if your body thinks it's doing fine.

Congratulations, it's going to be fun to hear how we all do over the next few months.:Bunny :Bunny :Bunny

Thanks for all the well wishes.

Kathy- yes, my port is on my left side. If I remember correctly, the port is stitched into a muscle, which I am assuming is what causes the pain/discomfort. It's getting better everyday though.
