Thank you guys very much for your feedback, I guess it is common to feel depressed after any surgery, I have to admit this really took a toll, the pain doesn't make it any better and is what feels you with regrets. Today I feel better, My wounds obvious still hurt and when I breath I still feel my left ribcage soar( THe port is on the left side). It is people like you that make us new bandsters feel better(emotionally). I feel better when I get feedback from people that are banded. I don't have friends and family who are so it makes it rather difficult to ask. I am still on liquids. Hopefully by Monday I can do the Darker Liquids. I want to be able to drink my Protein, (I would not want my hair to fall). Thank You Jakealta

i got my band yesterday and yes the first thing i thought was what the hack did i do. i am still a bit nervous, i was told that the next day most people are up and back to work, im like ya right. i am currently on pain meds. i feel a tightness in my ribs when i take deep breaths, when i drink liquids i dont get the feeling of being fool anymore, i just feel like a tighness i my chest? i am confused on the new way to be full feeling is. What are you supposed to feel? i have little ones and feel really bad that i cant pick them up yet. what is recovery time? Any advice will be great.
