Hi guys,

Everything went perfectly. I am home and now a proud bandee!

I am too slow a typer to give a blow by blow account and it would be boring anyway. The only thing that I do want to mention is how important walking and doing the breathing exercises were for me. I swear my lungs felt like they had been squinched when I woke up. And walking and deep breathing made me feel way better.

I slept most of the day of surgery and then got up yesterday, had a shower walked laps around the floor- it was kinda fun.

Also important was to remember to take small sips frequently of whatever I was drinking. Interesting is that I have yet to feel hungry.

The sorest part is the site where dr placed my port. My kiddos were very interested in mom's tummy with 5 little square tapes on it.

Now I need to go to GNC to buy Protein shakes.

Congratulations!!

I am happy everything went well for you!!

Yeah, the port site was the most painful for me too!

When sleeping,I used pillows under my belly to help support it and avoid that pulling sensation!

Take care and don't forget to rest

Congratulations!! I'm so glad it went smoothly--you deserve it.

Take it easy with the kiddies! I know I've said this before but it's really important to lay low during the first week or so and I know how hard that is to do with inquisitive little children around. But it's important to heal well, so tell them to back off and stop climbing on Mommy's tummy!! :cool:

Congrats!!

Welcome to the journey....

Me too! Had mine the 10th.

Port is definitely the sorest one! Just take it easy, keep walking, and keep sipping that Water.

hope you're feeling better today - wishing you lots of luck on your banded journey!

Glad you are doing well!!! Congratulations, and welcome to the "club"!!!
