momclink reacted to downysoft in Date set: July 11th - any other July banders?
Day four post op for me. Banded July third. Feeling a lot better this morning. Still hoping for real food soon but hunger has not been overwhelming. My biggest issue is port site pain but have been sleeping in my own bed. I even made my own bed this morning. I thought I would be feeling more like myself but feel lucky seeing as I am 46 and just went thru major surgery. Best thing is that from the beginning of preop diet to today I am down 13 pounds. Started out at 260 and scale said 247 this morning. Yay. Hope my fellow Fourth of July week banders are doing just as well if not better

momclink reacted to EJRN in Day 4 post op- very painful
Oh I know EXACTLY what you feel. I'm post op day 6 and I am just now starting to get some relief. I cried so hard last night and begged God to please help me. And thank God I feel better and you will to! I wish this part was easier for us! Please take everyone's word. Time will help US!!! And soon we will reap the benefits of our hard work. Please know you're not alone. I'm right there with you.

Got a call from the surgical scheduler this morning, and my date is set for July 11th! I was hoping it might be sooner, but not surprised it worked out this way. Means I will be starting my liquid diet while I'm traveling for work - so that will be interesting. I'm also wrestling with not having our annual 4th of July BBQ at my house (which is in a prime location for watching fireworks) - maybe I'll just have ppl over for fireworks but avoid smelling burgers on the grill all day.
Anyone else have a July date set? Wanna support each other through the next weeks?
