Glad to hear you are doing ok. Did you have the surgery right at Tlbc? I thought they only done them on Thurs or Fri. Maybe summer hours lol.

[Sybaritic01 0]

yup.....had it at tlcb yesterday at 2pm. I had to spend the night since I have sleep apnea.....my nurse, Christina, took amazing care of me.

Hurray for you, Sybaritic. One of the most sybaritic experiences I have had was my first 3 days post op. I spent them in bed, reading, napping, and goofing on the supply of that splendid demerol which nice Dr. Yau so kindly made available to me via a prescription. :bounce: My cat kept me company and my husband made a point of looking in on me. It was an altogether fine time apart from the gas cramps. Those were a real killer.

sweetforlife Welcome to bandland. How did you make out with your surgery?

[marcar35 0]

Welcome to bandland Sybaritic01! The worst is over. Now you have to go through 6 weeks of healing - clear fluids, full fluids, mushy foods ... first fill, 2nd fill, third fill....then you have to start changing your eating habits, blockages...chew slowly....:biggrin1:. Two months banded and I'm talking like a pro . Have I mastered them all? Yeah right! But I'm loving my journey learning all of it and you will too.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks.....I'm a TLBC girl too.........just 10 days banded now....I'm feeling pretty good.....a little low energy.....a little tired....all to be expected I would assume.....losing some weight.....taking some short walks......doing some journaling.....feeling quite focused........my appetite is starting to come back so I know I have to be careful and stick to the full liquid plan.....whenever I'm hungry I drink water.....there's no damn way I'm spending $16,500 and not be successful......I HAVE to do this.....I am choosing health.....and next summer as a celebration I want to kakak the 100km Humber River.......
