  1. of course every one is different. I was banded on a Tuesday am...stayed overnight...back to work on Monday. Really felt better by Wednesday. I was taking a daily nap up until day 10. Tocay I am 14 days out and I finally feel back to my oldself sidenote: you shouldnt drive if you are on narcotics
  2. I was careful about who I told at first I wanted to keep it a secret bc I am so scared I will fail. I got up the guts to tell my extended family after reading a post (here?) from someone who regretted not telling people bc she often got asked how she lost so much weight. She felt bad having to lie bc they were never told. On that note I didnt tell my coworkers all they know is I had abdominal surgery
  3. I had my surgery there as well but with is his associate Dr Vernon (female). They were named a Center of Excellance in 2006 and the nursing care I received on 15b was of the highest quality. I cant say enough.
  4. I am calling myself out. I am still supposed to be on liquids and I ate when I shouldnt have. My pouch did fine but I think I was testing the limits but trying things like piecrust.
  5. Hanover MA banded at B & W's 11-13-07
  6. I’ve only been banded a week and it seems as if I have developed the common post surg lactose intolerance (oh man it was horrible). Tried the pills and they didn’t work. Doing okay with soy and lactose free milk but was wondering if this will continue forever? Will I have been able to tolerate dairy again
  7. today is one week since I was banded 11-13-07 at Brigham $ Womens Hostpital in Boston MA. its been a slow recovery and today is day 2 back at work. Was on some really heavy narcotics (not sure if this slowed my recovery or not), and still feel weak....hard to get all the protein in and still very tired.
