any toronto bandsters-

I am fortunate enough (or unfortunate..lol...home with 4 kids:crying:....no pay) to be off for the summer so I waited until then (July 3rd) to have my surgery. But I think energy wise and tenderness of the incisons, I would have liked 2 weeks off I'd say. I guess it depends on what you do at work that would determine how long to take off. I hope all goes well for you on Tues. Congrats on becoming a Bandster!!!:cursing:

I was banded on July 25th at TLBC. I've been off work this week, and though I've been up and about around the house from the get go, I'm hoping returning to work will be okay on Tuesday. How much time did you guys take off after being banded?

I was actually banded yesterday (july 31) at TLBC.

I booked the following week off work. Figured I deserved it, and really didn't really feel it fair for my coworkers be victim of me on only clear fluids lol :cursing:

Thanks Guys....

I actually did okay with the clear fluids. In fact I still don't have much of an appetite, but I want to eat. It's weird, like i just want to taste the food. I started the full fluids on Wednesday and have been enjoying the yogurt and pudding so far.

Hello all; I had my surgery 2 days ago on August 1st with Dr. Yau. My energy is good, pain is not bad. I am not taking any meds for it. I find everything so salty, so I am making my own stock right now. I found the Protein Shake before the surgery was a good Meal Replacement, and not salty at all. I look forward to the leaving clear fluids. :teeth_smile:
