Bibi❤️ 5 Posted April 16, 2014 Hello all. I know should probably be sleeping right now seeing that I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am. I am so nervous. This has been an almost two year process and it's finally happening. No more playing off the heavy girl jokes and laughing along no more panting for air because you can't walk up the steps at work I know it will not be easy but I am so ready to begin this amazing journey. Wish me luck everyone..... I just don't know how I'm goin to sleep tonight 4 Bandista, Mikee57, dylanmiles23 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibi❤️ 5 Posted April 18, 2014 Hello everyone. Well I am on day two of being banded and it hurts like heck!!!!!! The doctor said surgery went well but I hate being in this uncomfortable weird pain I can't tell if I'm hungry or if it's gas pains. I know the doctors said walk as much but my body hurts so bad i just want to sleep 1 Mikee57 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikee57 699 Posted April 18, 2014 Bibi<3 you need to just get up and walk a bit in the house, but rest as much as you can sweetie...make sure you are sipping on something all day, okay!!! take the meds that were given to you...for the first few days and the pain will ease up. Let me know if you need anything...best wishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made sure to take my pain meds like clock work and I wasn't shy about asking for more when I ran out because I was still in pain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made sure to take my pain meds like clock work and I wasn't shy about asking for more when I ran out because I was still in pain You are so right I'm on day 4 and I feel so much better I think I'm kinda gettin the hang on it now. I stepped on the scale just to take and peek and noticed I lost 5 pounds since Wednesday. I am so determined more than ever now to keep going with guns blazing. Thank you all for your kind words and great advice ❤️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
