Officially Banded

[Cherry_Blue 0]

Hey,

I am officially banded as of Wednesday 16th at 2:30pm, by Dr Watson. It was a great experience, I wioke up in a bit of pain, mostly my throat was sore and my mouth dry, the pain killers worked pretty fast and by Thursday morning I was ready to go. I still have a bit of pain in my shoulder from the gas, but apart from that, i feel normal.

My husband was a darling and made me some chicken broth which I have loved. I have also stocked up on some Up and Go Breakfast drinks, and have been sipping Water all day long :-)

I am glad its over and now looking forward to the new thinner me

Yay you!! I am hoping to bounce back as quick as you have. I cant wait until March it seems like forever, I am back to school in a few weeks and then the time should go faster, Im trying not to think about it but........Im sure you know. Congratulations.

Welcome to the club, Cherry Blue! Dr Watson seems to be a great surgeon. All of his patients that I have heard tell their stories (including me!) say that they have had a really easy recovery time. He must have extra gentle hands when in there or something

Hey Jess,

I have lost 12 kilos since the modifast stage. I have tried adding that ticker thing to my signature, but I can't work out how to :-(
