I know the feeling. I was banded wen and I too feel a little bloated after I drink water. I am.walking a bit more. Its a little painful. It may be because we are still swollen.on the insides.

I think it's cute. I am thinking about naming mine B . B is what most people called me when I was younger and much slimmer. That name remindes me of a person that is crying to get out of my current body. B will help me reach my health and beauty goals.

Thank you all for your support. I finally recieved my lab results in the mail and my levels are still a bit elevated. However, In an act of faith, I called the Tricare approval line and my precedure has been "Approved". I am super excited. I am about to email the doctors office to let them know, if they don't know already. I am off to changing my life. Yay! Thank you all, Beautiful-B
