Hi all, i am Cindy and was banded on April 29th. Feeling ok, haven't been on pain meds since the day after surgery but i am bruising now and taking deep breaths is killer. I have pain in my left shoulder and would really like to go for a walk but by the time i get dressed, i am exhausted. I am not hungry at all and the only thing i have enjoyed eating is cream of chicken soup. Not sure how I am gonna survive 4 weeks of a full liquid diet. It's already pretty monotonous. I am off work for the next 6 weeks so hoping i can concentrate on eating. Nervous about the post op visit in 2 weeks. If i haven't lost weight by then i will be very upset. How long til this dermabond glue comes off? Glad to see I am not alone in this journey

i am having exactly the opposite effect. 3 days after banding and nothing but pee. Wondering how long this will last. Of course i haven't eaten that much but still... I am wondering when there will be some movement

hi all, I had my surgery April 29th so i am on day 3. I am 32 years old, married, and have 2 kids. Yesterday I had my first breakdown since the surgery, just crying for no reason. I don't feel hungry, but i know I need to eat and I know I am supposed to stop eating when i feel full, but I am not hungry to begin with. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this and how long it lasts. How long for the Dermabond to go away? How long for the bruising to go away? I want to start walking but by the time I get dressed, I am exhausted. Is any of this normal?
