I was banded on Thursday, October 16th, and I really didn't feel close to normal until today. The gas pains are finally gone. The incision near the port is tender, but that is all.

Was banded on 10/21 - back in my hospital room by 10am. Nurses had me up walking by 11am. Everyone I had spoken to had told me to walk and walk and walk. I did, and knock on wood, I have not had gas pains that others have experienced. I am sore on my port side (left) but find getting up and down to be easier and easier........ I am going back to work on Monday and hoping that I will feel even better.

I didn't drink much liquids or Protein on 10/22 when I got home from the hospital. Was able to drink 32 oz of Water and most of my Protein shake during the day. Today 10/24 I have eaten broth (a little) at lunch, sipped on my 42 gram proteim EAS shake during the day and still working on 32 oz of water...........yes, i know it needs to be more Water but I just am still trying to get it down right now.

What has been your worst day since banding (healing process).

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
