Divamom 1 Posted June 21, 2008 Hi all--I was banded June 16th in Sacramento, Ca at Methodist Hosp. by Dr. Aaryn Koura. He is a great doc--as I am doing well. Wt. before pre-op diet was 304, wt. after was 298. Going into surgery I was 298 and after I was 294 but it only took from Monday the 16th to the 20th for me to drop to 296. I was doing really well on clear liq. the first couple days, then I was so hungry so I started on full liq. on Wed the 19th and I am doing ok and I get full again and I will try to wait till at least the 26th to advance to puree/mushy. My pain has had nothing to do with my incisions it's all been the pain caused by the gas the fill yoou with. My left shoulder, neck and upper back have been killing me but so far today is alittle better. Just trying to get used to having an object under my skin and around my stomach. But I'm hanging in there. Can't sleep in a bed yet am still in the recliner. Any advice about the band is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Leah:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
