About day 8 you can begin to sleep better. I am down 25 lbs and am 1 month post-op. I feel great and can eat everthing except bread products. Only much much less now. I take liqid vits and am excited about being able to work out. That has never been something I would want to do. Hang in there it gets so rewarding soon.
I have gone down 2 sizes and cant wait to go to the beach in a bathing suit looking fab by this time next year.

I went to mexico on 3/3/06 I am feeling great and down 19 lbs. I went to belightweight DR Kuri. I chose that one because of the new hospital and they only wanted a $500.00 deposit. The hospital was incrediable. Brand new and so clean and well kept. The rooms had a place for my husband to stay at my side and tv and DVD for him to wach movies. The shower was also a huge tiled shower. This allowed my husband to get in with me post op and be by my side. I drove 8 hrs the day after and then felt good enough to go to work the next day. DONT!! take at least 2 days off. I hope you have as wonderful of am expirance as I did it make sit so much easier.
Good luck and good prayers for you all.

I am 19lbs down 22 days in. I was banded on 3/4/2006 by Dr. Kuri in Mexico. His new hospital was the cleanest nicest hospital I have ever seen. I think I got much better care than I ever have in the states.
