Just Kidding!! I got banded on Tuesday the 25th as planned, actually earlier b/c the dr had a cancellation, but I'm feeling pretty good. My homegirl came down to take care of me for a couple days, and my friends and family (even the ones who weren't in favor of the band) have been pretty awesome.

I didn't even need the pain meds they gave me. The most annoying thing has been the gas pain but the incisions seem to be healing up nicely so I'll be happy when I'm really up and about again, and can get into a serious exercise routine.

Hope everyone else is doing well, too.

CONGRATS!!

I got banded the 25th too! I feel pretty damn good! Congrats and feel well! J

Congrats! I was banded on the 25th as well! I'm not doing as well as the 2 of you, i have lots of pain and gas, but everything looks good! I'm envious! lol

Thanks! I'm doing a little better today; a lot less gassy and i went for a 20 minute walk with my dad too. it was a little hard, but not too painful. the most annoying thing has been being a side-sleeper forced onto my back. every time i want to get up i feel like there should be someone behind me going "turrrtle, turrrtle" lol
