Hi, everyone!!
I got banded on 7/3...
I just wanted to offer a few words of encouragement to all of the newbies out there who feel miserable and don't feel like it will ever end..
I felt like this month would NEVER end. I was so hungry all the time, felt awful that I couldn't do my aerobics at the gym, and had a lot of port pain.
I just went for my first post-op appt. on Thursday. He has finally cleared me to go back to the gym and resume all activities. Monday is day 30, when I will go back to eating solid foods again. I have no pain anymore (finally!!)
I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel..Just hang in there!! You will get through it. If I can, so can you. Feel free to email me if you need anyone to vent to--I promise, it will get better.. :rolleyes2:
