Surgery went smooth, after surgery very smooth, I had some liquid that was forming under my port incision, not a problem. At times I wonder if he remembered to put the band in because I have has such an easy recovery. I can't wait for my first fill (July 2).

Where are you having your surgery done? How do you feel about it? I was sooo excited and now I am ready to move on to the next phase.

This site is amazing, I found sooo much support and understanding here, I hope to see your posts around!
