Banded for 9 days now.

[life is good 0]

I really don't know why I've been putting this off but this forum was soooo helpful for me in the decision making process, the learning all of the ins and outs of the surgury and kind of knowing what to expect. With all of that info here who needs to hear my pearls, but I guess if everyone felt that way no one would be writing anything.

All of my news is great. I am a 59 year old male, self pay that had my surgury on a Tuesday, 9 days ago. Surgeon Dr. Christopher Heart with True Results in Atlanta. He was great as was his staff, I recommend him highly! Yea I was hurting around my abdominal areal for 24 hours but that was really it. No nausea, and drove to the store the next day and went to work on Friday 3 days after surgury, could have probably gone on Thursday, yes I have a desk job. I followed all of youz guyz imputs throughout this forum and they all worked. Never needed gas X strips, but I did buy them. They were ready to go.

I don't want to repeat sooo many things that have been stated by all of you, just wanted to give some good news. Down 12 lbs and feeling normal and happy. Life Is Good, yes it is.

I was also banded on May 20th and am also doing very well. I never had any of the bad consequences that people have had and am losing weight very quickly as are you. Continued good luck to you!

You guys are doing great! I have not been banded yet I am still waiting to meet with the doctor on June 10 to get my surgery date. I hope that I do as well as the two of you. Keep up the good work!

Hello glad you're feeling well.

I'm on Day 9 and feeling great too. I have lost a total of 10 pounds for sure and had a "peeka boo" weigh this morning that indicated it could be down 13!

Good luck to you!
