much better today

I am 6 days post op. I saw my dr. yesterday and he removed 2cc from my band. I was completely miserable and ready to have it removed if it was supposed to feel like that. Didn't feel much better last night, but much better today. still have alot of gas build up but is getting better. My major problem now is weaning myself off of a medication that has side effects when you quit. if i can get past that i think i might feel normal again. thanks for the words of encouragement and advice.

You had enough saline in your band that he was able to remove 2cc? That is remarkable. My doctor puts almost nothing in the band when first attached. My first fill will be next week, and he will add 2cc at that time. I may postpone another week because I am not sure if I need a fill right now - I am 3 weeks post. I am glad you are feeling better. You will wean yourself off the meds, just take it one day at a time. Good luck.
