Was banded Wed 4/16/08!!!!!!!!

Finally Banded!! I must say, I'm in alot of discomfort. Surgeon had to repair a Hiatal Hernia, that I wasn't aware that I had, so that could be why I'm takin a little longer to recover. I have pain that comes and goes in my upper front shoulder... I'm told that is the gas, and it will take a while. I'm tired, and finding it difficult to take in all my water and protein drinks. Trying my best.. and taking it easy. Unable to lay in my bed, but I am finding comfort in my recliner. I'm sooo glad it's over. But i must admit, everyday it is getting better... so I'm staying positive!!!:)

Best wishes, speedy recover and lots of weight loss. Hang in there. You survived and now make it worth the trip! I get banded next month, so it is nice to hear how some others are doing. Not all a bed of roses like I had hoped. Take care.
