Shamrockgirl60 1 Posted August 10, 2008 I am still post op, was banded August 7th. I suspect that the pain I am having will be aroud for a while. I am around for a while here, some bruising and soreness around the fill port. The rest is almost free of pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GinaJ 2 Posted August 10, 2008 Ginaj I am going to be banded on the 19th in Mexico with Dr. Kuri. Where are you having it done? I'm having mine done is San Antonio. I'm getting excited. The 19th is just around the corner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pegsinthewoods 8 Posted August 10, 2008 :crying: Finally had my turn. I was banded on Monday, August 4th, and all is good. Had some nausea but nothing too band. I did have a cold bug (sore throat, stuffy nose, etc) at the same time and it was worse than the surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slinkymalinky 0 Posted August 10, 2008 Good Luck tomorrow Sam and Sweetpea!!! You'll both be just fine! I had my surgery August 5th, 2008, and feel great. I went shopping today and spent all afternoon at the mall, and I'm starting to feel almost normal again. I've lost 5 pounds since the surgery and I'm already starting to feel a bit smaller. This is the best thing ever! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindaGail 0 Posted August 11, 2008 I also want to wish you both luck. I was banded Monday on August 4 and feel pretty good. I lost 4 lbs since Tuesday when I came home.
