  1. HELLLLOOO!!! Well im glad to say i was banded 6/13/11 and today makes it 1 full week since surgery! Ive lost 11lbs!!!! the liquid diet is not tough at all and im trying my best to have a positive attitude towards the whole ordeal! HOWEVER....i dont know if its because im still healing but there are times that i cant sit down bc of a PAIN and "pinch...poking" sensation where my stomach is. No where else on my body is hurting EXCEPT for my left side where the band is. I called my Doctor and he advised me that im still healing andi just need to give it time. However, i can stand and could be fine the whole day. I work for a cell phone company and im on my feet alll day 7-8 hrs a day and yes its hard and I get out of breath a lil, and I CANNOT bend down bc it hurts too much but when it comes to SITTING!!!....woah it HURTS!!! and driving is soooo tough as well.....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if anyone else is having problems as well or has some advise please help me out! BTW i had surgery monday morning and was back to work on FRIDAY! Thanks Vanessa! Weight 282lbs Post op weight 271lbs Banded 6/13/2011 Age 22
