sharklove82: Im glad someone else is feeling this way, also! You are a bit further in your journey and I hope to feel better about my decision in a month but it is quite hard right now. i would tell you to keep your head up and put forth your best effort, but i would also be contradicting myself! so, i guess i hope it gets better for the both of us! i will keep you updated on what the doctor says!
lilbit182004: im so sorry you are having such pains! i cannot imagine! i suppose I am lucky in that I havent had much pain at all. I don't pride myself too much but i am a trooper.. i was back to school two days after my emergency csection, so i guess I can deal with pain a little easier than most. I hope the doctor finds a solution to your pain and things get better for you, too!
amazon13: i was told before that the lump could be due to drinking too fast but I don't believe i am! i take tiny sips throughout the day, despite my unquenced thirst!! unfortunately, i am not on solid foods yet although I feel i am ready for them! full liquids doesn't seem to be satisfying enough!
valleygirlRN: thanks for your comment! i, too, am looking forward to the positive changes. I supposed I am drowing myself in self pity over things i cannot control such as the desire to pig out whenever i feel like it without gaining an ounce! I supposed it's time to let go of that and move along as you have. thank you for the inspiration!
sojourner: thank you so much for the support. i keep repeating to myself the reasons i chose to have this surgery in the first place and the difference it will make in the long run. Hopefully, maybe, possibly one day i will not need the band and will be able to control my eating habits without it but I suppose I should act more grateful of the gift of the band and use it to my benefit for now. I know I have failed previously just trying to do it on my own, so I should stop complaining! I guess it's easier said than done!
desiree123: i am the same! I've read so much about the negative things that RARELY happen and I freaked myself out completely! I will take your advice, thank you!
thank you to everyone who responded to my post! It feels great to hear from my support team but even more awesome when it's from someone who is/has dealt with the same issues! I hope my emotions get under control soon and I can move forward and be happy with myself and my decision! I am excited to reap the positive benefits of getting the band, while at the same time still kind of upset over my decision. anyway, thanks again everyone!

You may go through many emotional feelings. This is normal. Please if your emotions go wacky see your pcp. or pysch. It's ok to feel these ways, just be sure to watch your health.
May Our Lord guide you. Try to think positive.

hello! my name is krystina, i am 24yo and i was banded this morning! since i have a nine month old at home, i spent a little extra time in the hospital napping! the surgery went very well and there were no complications! i'm feeling quite uncomfortable from the gas pains but other than that no real pain at all! discomfot getting up from a lying position, but that was expected! i am happy to be starting my journey and excited to start a new chapter of my life! a much happier, healthier one at that! i look forward to speaking/sharing with you all!!! -krystina
