wrestle01 0 Posted December 13, 2006 Hello Everyone, I just had the band done yesterday. I was a little nervous to say the least, never had surgery before. It went great!!! I was walking around in 2 hours and did not need the pain medication. I had Dr. ABkin in Dover, New Jersey. He was great. I am home today but I will be going to work tomorrow. I have some gas issues in my upper left chest but that is about it. Now just looking to lose some weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woodys 0 Posted December 13, 2006 Good for you! You bounce back very quickly. I too went back to work the next day but just to do a very quiet short run at lunch and dinner in my restaurant....I was just fine......but very tired......no pain at all, at times, in the beginning, just a little queeziness in my tummy.
