good luck and u will do fine...i am 6 days post surgery and finally starting to feel more like myself...i stopped the meds last night and only find a lil discomfort on my left side where the port is.....keep us posted

i was banded on june2nd.....and i am feeling pain, mostly at the port area but the meds dont really work...no shoulder pain, tho my 2yr old thinks its funny to smack my belly , i have to be extra careful...i am up and moving, i was able to get 4 protien shakes and 20 oz sobe lifewater in today but it was a chore and i too do not feel hungry, just really thirsty
