I am officially banded

Glad to hear everything went well!! As far as going to the bathroom, your muscles are still tensing up because of the trauma they've just been through. You'll be able to relax and go fully soon. Rest and walk!!

And I cannot wait for the recovery to be over too! lol

You made it. No more waiting for the surgery, it is over. I still have mine ahead of me. I had times of heartburn back in early spring because of allergies and mucus in my stomach. Well they need to do a check of my esophagus stomach and small intestine, the gastro doctor said because I was over 50 I needed a colonoscopy too. Well Monday I get both and tomorrow it is all clear fluids. After this, the lapband may just be easy. I am not looking forward to this but will be glad when it is over. Prep for this is awful. I will be living in my bathroom tomorrow. I know it will all be worth it but just hate the prep part. Take it easy on yourself this next week. You did it and it is all going to be worth it. I was thinking about you yesterday. Glad to see your post today. Any requests for songs as tomorrow I will be a farting princess and I am going to be noisy. I won't be able to do the flight of the bumble bee but once I get to the procedure on Monday, I just might be able to. They even pump air into you to make room for the camera so add insult to injury. I told my husband no laughing or I will get revenge when he goes to sleep. Take care of you.

Good luck Snady and thx for the encouraging words. ps Gas x strips are one of my BFF's.

Maggs, thx too for your words. I am excited to see what's to come, but the unknown is still scary. Sooo glad the surg. is behind me though. Wasn't as bad as I thought. Take care
