Hey just checking in. 2 weeks post op here. Tonight was my first night back to work. I'm a RN on a busy step down unit. I actually feel great! I'm down 15lbs since the surgery. I really haven't had any problems since the surgery except, I was allergic to the steri strips talk about an itchy mess! My surgeon prescribed some kenalog cream and my tummy looks so much better. I finally to the mushy stage, and the hunger pangs are gone...sticking to mostly protein so I'm still consistently loosing. I get my first fill Sept 7. I hope everyone is hanging in there!

Dr Reilly also did my surgery 8/12 and will be doing my husbands 8/19

My name is Sarah, I'm 34 years old and I was banded 8/12/11. I am married and my husband is getting banded 8/19/11. We have three beautiful children, Kaiden 8 yrs, Michael 18 months and Miriam 7.5months. So, far I'm doing well after my surgery, the gas pains have subsided and I'm getting back into my walking routine. My husband and I went thru True Results since January and I started out at 290lbs, today I was 272lbs. Congrats to everyone else who was banded in August!

I hope everything goes well for you...sending lots of luck your way!

Hello all, I just wanted to introduce myself. I was banded Friday, August 12, 2011. Everything is going smoothly thus far. I look forward to reading everyone's posts!
