I cried for days after. I have no husband and didn't tell anyone except one friend, so I was alone in the hospital. I sleep a lot and sometimes regret what I've done. My stomach looks like a mess. and my incisions are starting to itch. Someone mentioned not drinking coffee? no one told me that!! I've been eating scrambled eggs and cream of wheat and yogurt. I felt nauseous up until last night. I want a piece of pizza so bad.

I was banded last Tuesday and I have 4 incisions. I am full of gas as well. I am constantly rumbling and passing gas. This is not pretty so far!!

HI, wow you are almost there. I like in MA too - but I can't have my surgery until October. I just got approval from my PCP. Good luck!
