Wow! I wish my surgery would have gone as smoothly as yours did! I was also banded on the 22nd. Though it only took about an hr and a half under anesthesia I was in recovery for over two hours in SO much pain. I've already been back at work for two weeks now and the first couple of days I would be exhausted even after less than two hours. I was down 23 lbs at my two week appointment, but my doctor told me he wouldn't "high-five" me because everone is different! Some people come in only losing 8 lbs and others as high as mine but things slow down too. Everyone's body is different, so i'm sure once you fully start working out you will notice a jump in numbers! I hope you start seeing the results your looking for very soon! I bet you will! :w00t:

I understand where you are coming from. A week after my surgery was halloween.. die LOL I went to a party with my friends and was good and sipped Water the whole night. I'm 25 days post OP now, and last thursday I had 2 glasses of wine at the bar (we all go out for karoke) and I was fine. But I really wouldnt test it TO much a week after, everyone is different but I was worried. If you do choose to drink a week after surgery I would keep it super minimul, something like a glass of wine or vodka with a low calorie mixer. Definitely no carbonation. Good luck and happy birthday! :w00t:

I was banded on the 22nd of October. I smoked my last cigarette before surgery at around 11 PM oct 21st cause they had no smoking after midnight haha. I waited a few days and tried to smoke again.. but it really hurt. So I waited a week, once my lungs were back to normal and I was on no medication smoking was not a problem.. I really should quit though lol.

Anybody? Am I the only one this has happened to? lol

Hey! I have a quick question! I am 25 days POST surgery and having been doing well. I used to be able to feel my port, as weird as it was it felt squishy and round and I could feel it. Now I woke up this morning, and it seems to have disappeared and I can't feel it anymore. Is that normal or has anyone dealt with that?? Please let me know! Thanks!
