Hey DB,

I was so glad to hear you are doing better, I was worried about you. Absolutely, you can use me as your guide, anytime.

I lost 21 lbs. on the 3 week pre Op liquid diet. Exactly a pound a day. Then I went for banding, was home for 13 days and had my post op appointment. I had lost another 11 lbs, totaling 32 lbs. I see my surgeon on 4/28 for my first fill and he is aggressive, I believe I will have a fill of about 5 cc.

I was swollen for about a week, then things statred turning around, the swelling went down, the soreness subsided and I was feeling normal again. It does take a good week to stablize. I have been out running and shopping for the past week so I bounced back quickly. I go back to work Monday and I am ready, I have all this excess energy.

You take it easy and give yourself some time to bounce back, the worst part is over, the rest is willpower and determination.

Keep in touch- Lighterload
