Ladies! Despite being older than you (40), and a guy, everything else applies to me... I, too, was banded on March 27th. Things are going well! We should all watch each other's progress since it's as close to an "apples to apples" as we can find, at least as it pertains to timelines.

I also was banded on March 27th I'm excited to take this journey with you. I'm 4 days post op and down 9 lbs. I had my surgery done in Pittsburgh Pa, which is near my West Virginia home.

That's awesome, I can't wait, I am so excited.

Im day 5 post op(banded monday). Last night was the first time I could drink a full 8 oz of the Protein Shake without feeling absolutely sick. Lol. I also weighed myself this am and am down 5 pounds since Monday. I do dream of eggs n cheese though but I trust there is a reason my dr has me on yogurt, shakes, amd Soup for 2 weeks. I have been drinking Water all day and walking.
