Hiya Betty...

So glad that your surgery is all over with! You have a lot of folks here that are here for you if you need us during your recovery. One big happy banded family we are!

I came here to see if there's any info on Betty's band... has anyone talked to her? Gosh, she should be all banded by now - far out!

I don't know how I missed this entire post.

Betty congratulations and welcome to bandland! I'm so glad your doing good. Already up and about like a good girl!

Excellant news that everything went well Betty. I'm very happy for you. I was tired the first couple of days, but made myself get up and walk. The more you walk the less gas pain you're likely to feel. I walked so much I was exhausted, but didn't get any gas pain at all. Welcome to bandland!!

Betty,

So glad you are banded! Each day get's better as far as being tired goes. I had the shoulder pain also (left shoulder). I didn't realize it was the gas they filled me with! It took about 5-6 days for it to go away for good. Drink as much Water as you can and feel better soon! Best of Luck,

I agree, each day gets better. I am doing lots of both, walking and drinking.

Hi Betty,

Glad to see you back safe and sound. We missed you around here. Hope everything is going smoothly. Teresa

Thanks Teresa! I am doing better each day. I am looking forward to Thursday though when I go to the doctor and get something else to eat. I am getting tired of the same stuff everyday, and once in a while, I actually hear my stomach growling. I guess that means I am healing huh? lol

Hi, Betty! Glad to see you are doing so well! Are you back at work yet?

[Iluvharleys 15]

Hi Blossom,

Yes, I went back Monday, but didn't stay the whole day, and today I only stayed till noon. I don't want to push myself too much. If I start feeling week, or something I tell them I have to go. Next week will be a lot better I think.

Betty, sometimes my stomach growling is so loud anyone within 10 feet of me can hear it! I think there's either a thread, or a thread hijack discussion of this with some of us, it seems to be something we all noticed after banding... I can live with it considering the advantages of my band... but it is a bit of an embarrassment at times.. like when DH says incredulously, "what the hell was that?"

Pam - Mine is just starting to make all kinds of funny noises. It is weird, I keep waiting to see what happens next.

Pam I loved the husband remark! Somebody turned the volume up thats for sure!
