good job proud of you....

Welcome I too was banded on the 28th. I am feeling better just all this gas kills me. If its not in my shoulder it is in my stomach. Icy-hot patch worked today.

I think you need to talk to your husband and expalin to him why you need to use your band and the gym. Its your life, your health etc. I know its hard to do but you went through the surgery and that was the biggest step. I know when I was younger I took my kids to the school and walked around the field why they played.

Post-op day # 3. The gas pain in my shoulder was hell. It is almost gone now. Moving around pretty good now. First night I slept in the recliner then moved to the bed the next day. Im tolerating my liquids and soft food. Just alot of gas in my stomach still.

I believe everyone gets it done. The Dr. needs to see whats goin on inside before surgery. I had to have a EGD, Stress test, Colonoscopy, sleep apnia test, blood test, the list goes on. But at least I know im healthy just fat. haha

Yes very common, I also have a 2 cm one that will be reapired on friday my banding date. Ahhh getting nervous. The EGD is no big deal. I know were all nervous for any procedure. I was asleep for the whole thing. I had a sore throat for a few days. Good Luck.

I am not baking for Christmas this year thats for sure. Thankfully my husband is very supportive, he was banded two years ago.

Yes thanks for your story. Im getting nervous, my surgery is Dec. 28.

getting banded on Dec 28 the day after my 51st birthday. Excited and nervous.
