Just got home from my band surgery. I'm surprised that I'm not in tons of pain. It comes and goes. The soreness from the cuts does hurt. I also hate not being to lay down in bed. Guess that's just one of the early trade offs. I donw even want anything to eat. I do like the smell of food though!

Thanks to those who offered support and encourgaement to me over the past few months. The deed is now done and the healing has begun. Looking forward to the next phase. Who knows, tomorrow I may feel like crap and my posts won't be quite so upbeat.

Welcome to Bandland!

In 2 weeks from now, even if you do feel like crap tomorrow you will be singing! In 6 weeks from now you will be jumping up and down!

Congrats and welcome to our land!

Congratulations you banded thang you!

Welcome to bandland!

Congratulations

Congratulations!

Your surgery sounds like mine. I was more tender than in pain, although, I did have pain in the left shoulder for weeks. Good luck with your new friend.

HI Spydr, what was the day of your surgery? Mine was Monday 11/14. I am feeling pretty good today (Thursday). Still pretty tender, but much better than Tuesday. Getting the 64 ounces of liquid down per day is not easy. I did take my dogs out for a few minutes this morning so that was good. It's freezing here in MI.

Welcome, welcome!!! I felt great day one, okay day two, horrible day three, and everything since day four has been a breeze. So, don't get discouraged if you have an off day. It gets better!!! Best of luck on your recovery. You've come to a place of friends here!!

Go Spydr, Go!!

Congrats on your surgery.

:]

Getting up in the middle of the night was torture. I guess I forgot I was banded. I now know it's slow going when I get up. The pain comes and goes but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope it isn't a train!

So glad everything is going okay. I'm to be banded Tuesday and was really interested in your experiences immediately following surgery. Can't wait to join you all, wish the actual procedure was behind me, though. I'm new to this forum and not sure where to put my posts, so I'm putting them all over, hoping for a response... thanks for any input..

Yeah and HUGS!
