Hi! Thanks for blogging, it helps to read about the journeys of others! I just read your 27 day post-op and even though I'm 14 days post op, my experience mirrors yours. And then I read your 2 day post op entry and I KNEW you had been banded by Dr. Srikanth! Your account of the surgery day was just like mine, it was so neat to read. I got banded by Srikanth on 10/14. I was his last patient of the day, so I showed up at 5:30 a.m. and they were wheeling me into surgery at 5:48 p.m. It was a long day! I really like him though and I'm glad I chose him. I still have pain around my port and that's been difficult. Today was my first day back to work and I ended up coming home 2 hours early because of the pain. Liquid Tylenol isn't quite cutting it. Anyway, I just can't tell you how delighted I was to stumble upon your blog and find that you were banded by Dr. Srikanth. I haven't posted here much, but my stats are:

Age: 31

Weight before surgery: 330

Weight the morning of the surgery: 290

I haven't weighed myself since the surgery, I have an appointment with Srikanth on Friday (Halloween) and I can't wait to see how much I've lost.

Thanks again for the encouragement today, I needed it.
