Hi there,
I just got banded on Tuesday May 24th, 2011. My weight is something I have struggled with since 3rd grade.. up down, up down, and up, up , up..
I was physically and mental ready for the band... I have had some soreness, but have wondered if it is even in there.. I have no problems drinking and sipping and swallowing. I have read horror stories, but feel blessed that everything is perfect so far.
Also another question - do you put your starting weight at what it was before your 2 week pre op diet or what it was the day you were banded?
Also day 3 after surgery my scars are so itchy.. is that normal?
Thanks an I look forward to a new life of health and reading and sharing stories.
