Yeah Healing, blah, blah, blah but I'm still pissed!
You gotta stop this. Not to freak you out any more than you already are, but this is only the beginning. Please just relax. You are going to go through a ton of emotions. I remember crying my eyes out early on because I could not eat something I cant remember what now yet I do remember being so sad at times. Me i am an obsessive scale person. But it sounds like you might be best not to weigh if its going to drive you crazy. And healing period is not BS. Hang in there it will come off I am living proof LOL, 3/11/10 Banded

Air Travel with the Band

Vitamin stuck
I was told no pills bigger than a peanut. lucky my meds are very small. And for vitamins I take One a day gummies for adults. You are probably swollen due to dinner and pill getting stuck. Always a good idea to call your doctor for advise!!!!! Hope you feel better soon.
