September 27, 2006

Well, I was banded on September 22, 2006. It did not take me long to decide that I wanted to try this tool. Surgery went great. I had my gallbladder removed and the lap-band placed. I am doing well. I have little pain. The hardest thing is getting up and down in bed because I am afraid of using my ab muscles and it is a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, I think all is going great. I am trying to take it easy at home for the first week post surgery. I have to watch myself because I will do more than what I need to be doing around the house. I have not weighed yet, but I feel like I have already lost some weight from the diet and not wanting to eat after surgery. I do not want to weigh until I go to the doctor. I don't want to be discouraged in what the scales say anyway.
