I'm getting banded in 2 days, starting to feel a little more nervous but know it is the right decision for me, how long did you wait to go back to work?

Hi!!! I can understand, I started to get nervous and scared too. Try to keep yourself really busy....it definitely helped! The surgery is intimidating, but it was over quickly, and I never felt horrible. I stayed one night in the hospital, but would totally have been fine going home the same day.

I had the surgery on a Monday and stayed out that whole week. I could have used an extra day or two. In that respect, if you work a normal Monday through Friday schedule, you have a good arrangement having your surgery at the end of the week and taking off the next week. I wanted my surgery on a Friday, but my surgeon only did procedures on Monday and Tuesday.

Anyway, if you're on FB, come find me!!!

Hi, my name is Kari.

I can't believe you've lost 36 lbs already! Am I reading that right? I was banded the 11th and have lost 12 lbs. I have avoided FB up until now, but I am looking for a support group, so maybe I will join. Congratulations!

LOL, Kari...sorry to freak you out...let me explain my ticker!

I also included the numbers above the ticker as: 310 was my highest weight, but when I went for my first office visit (about a month before my surgery), I was 293. I really don't know what I was right before surgery...maybe about 285. So, not sure if my ticker's right, but I weighed in today at 272; therefore, I would say that since the day I was banded, I've actually lost 13 pounds.

Hope that puts you at ease...boy do I wish I had lost 30 pounds since the 10th, though!!!! Anyway, this means that our loss since surgery is the same! :biggrin:
