Congrats on your story - I was banded Friday and am going to try to go back to work on Tuesday...let me know how your day goes at work.. I have been having some slight pain mostly at the port site - but what has been worse is the heartburn/gas..hopefully that will get better soon! Here to change : ) Danielle

Yay Don! I haven't been hungry but I have tried to eat a little b/c the antibiotics they gave me were making me feel sick..so I have a little chicken broth (2 small spoon fulls - at slightly warmer then room temp) and a little Jello (about 1/4 of a jello cup). I have been drinking lots of Water too...my Mom is taking care of me and she has been making me drink a lot b/c the DR said that would help w/recovery. Anyway - my DR said Clear liquids for 1 week (broth, water, jello, Popsicle - although I am not quite sure how jello and Popsicle are clear liquids : )

Congrats to everyone!! I have been doing good - was banded at 7:30am (was suppose to be 6am) on Friday but was in there for about 45 mins and then recovery for about 1 1/2 hours. I have been home since and have been sleeping, walking, etc and am finally feeling better today. The first day was the hardest for me I think mostly because I didn't kno what to expect. Most of the pain I have been experiencing is pain around the port area and the gas pains (C02) but the walking has done a lot of help and today I am just sore.. Can't wait for skinny!!! Hey did everyone get a call from their DR yesterday? I thought it was so nice that the called to make sure I was okay and wish a quick recovery...And does everyone have their followup scheduled? ttyl, Danielle

Hi. I am in CA - LA area and am getting banded tomorrow...I will let you know how it goes!! Good luck to everyone else! Danielle

Hi! I wasn't one that you were calling...but I am having my surgery tomorrow too. At 6 AM... I am really nervous but I am hoping for a quick recovery. Good luck to you all!! Danielle
