My Experience

Was a beautiful one. No gas, two incisions, just soreness on the incisions and the hospital staff monitored me and provided the support I needed. It was a beautiful awakening from anesthesia, now I am home, excited for every new day ahead!

Congrats on your new band and your "journey" that you have started. I was banded in March and have had a very good experience so far.

I wish you luck and happy losing!!

I'm glad things went so smoothly. I hope to be saying those same words in the next two weeks.

Wow Iris! That's fantastic!

I was banded the same day as you. I have 6 incisions! Only the big one is tender. Otherwise I've had no problems either. I'm a lazy toad & taking 2 weeks off work lol.

How are you going with your post op diet? I feel like I could eat a horse at times but am sticking to the instructions as I dont want to do any damage.

Good luck with your journey. You're off to a great start

Jen,

I was very hungry last night possibly because everything came out (sorry to be so blunt, lol) I have a followup appointment tomorrow, and besides a minor headache from time to time, I am doing well. Just staying in the home and relaxing, walking, drinking Water (ughhh), broth, etc. My only issue is the carnation instant Breakfast (yuck!) Maybe its the vanilla flavor but a e-buddy told me to get slim fast and that should suffice. There is also this bariatric shop by my home so I may go there, they blend drinks to see what you like before you make a purchase. They take online orders if you are interested heres the link http://www.bariatriceating.com/

Good luck on the rest of your journey and I hope you have great success!
