Dr. Forbes Buffalo, NY 2/12 Weeks! First post!

Judy...who was your doc again? Let us know how your app. goes!

NoPBJ--here is my story, lol. I had bad nausea 3 times on the first day, but none after that. It was relieved with the drugs they gave me. I was doing well so I went home Friday morning. I went to work today, 6 days post op, so I think I am doing really well (dont forget I am old too, 56!)

Everything was fine on my post op visit, I am just tired. I will start back to my Jazzercise class on Friday and will do the 4 mile walk with the gang on Saturday. Not sure how that will go.

Still have some neck stiffness, really I can not complain much. I am down about 10 pounds, however, BGH has weighed me on 3 different scales so it is hard to tell for sure.

I would not say it was a walk in the park, but it was not as bad as expected. The nausea and heaving was terrible though.

NoPBJ How is it going since it has been a few weeks? Did you feel like the support group at Buffalo General helped? Do you feel like you are banded yet? I hope you are feeling better about everything.

Yes, I am so curious how the recent banders are doing, NoPBJ, Brubear, RainWi?

I am doing pretty well, but let me tell you--they say NO CELERY, DONT DO CELERY. I skipped the wings and thought I would do safe, healthy celery. I thought I would die. I bloated so fast, OMG. Dont do Celery.
