Just take one day at a time. When you feel down get up and walk or do something outside. Remember everyone has their "not so good days" and we are here to help each other out!!

Best of luck to you!!

Glad to hear everything went fine. Take it easy, although I see that will be difficult with 3 kids...I have 1 and can barely do everything! Cindy

I feel a whole lot better today. But I do have some redness and irritation around my incision. It feels tender. I called the doc and did not get a call back. I will definitely have to follow up tomorrow because my sister and mom looked at it and said it doesn't look well.

Congratulations! Keep us posted on your progress!

Congrats to you on the band I am a newbee also, one month out. Had my first fill today and it was trully painless......My incisions were red and looked bad to everyone I showed them to, they are getting better but my pcp and the surgeon both looked at them and said all was well every time they seen them. Best of luck.....................
