Well I'm back and I'm banded - I think it went well I've only had gas pain as the problem and that is resolving itself . Thanks for the support guys - I guess now the hard work begins, I've not felt hungry since the op so I can just hope it stays like that.

Hi Mike, I'm doing fine. I not feeling hungry really - I get the odd feeling of 'head hunger' but it's managable. I'm not feeling like I'm being denied food - I can do anything for a week.

My biggest problem is my port aches and wind/gas, but even that is moving at a decent rate. I'm back to work on Monday and I think I'm going to feel ok by then.

How are you doing, any regrets? Are you on solid food yet?

Hi Foxy yes head huger is a problem,keeping busy takes my mind off it,i ahe had 2 weeks pre op diet of sahkes 2 weeks post op Clear Liquids and now i have 2 weeks mushies before i can eat real food.My port is still painfull too it seems to be normal to feel pain for around 6-8 weeks from the port site.I do have regrets.........that i did not do this years ago and would do it again tomorrow.
