Banded 2/15 at 3:00pm OUCH!
HelenC replied to atlast1976's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on day 3, and it does get better. Try holding a pillow on your stomach as you get up, it does help. You're not being a baby...it HURTS! I, too, was lulled into a sense of this was going to be a piece of cake, when I heard about a woman vaccuuming her house the next day after surgery. I guess it's just different for everybody. -
GOING ALONE! Anyone else?

Helen here....I was banded on Valentine's Day this year
-
My name is Helen and I just found this forum through Google. I was banded on Valentine's Day in Dallas. I figure I'll never forget my band date I started this journey at 234, and from pre-op diet to today, I have lost 9 lbs. I'm already sick of the Protein shakes and was looking for something different, which led me here. Looking forward to learning even more about this process I've undertaken :girl_hug:

I live in Quinlan, which is south of Royse City/Greenville, north of Terrell, and 1 hour east of Dallas. I was banded by Dr. Benavides in Richardson on Valentine's Day. I did 2 wks of a modified liquid diet, and lost about 5 lbs (wasn't very religious about it, because I was starving), but he was pleased with it.
