I will be banded on September 14th, 2010. I am very anxious, nerveous, and scared! I hope this works for me as I have seen so many wonderful photos that I pray for the same results. I am a mother of two beautiful daughters ages 5 & 7 and I want my energy back to keep up with them. I am on the journey to finding "Me" again! I would love any friends along the way as no one in my family knows about this but my husband. He is so very supportive, but there are others that just "wouldn't get it". Hope we can join the journey together! Good luck everyone!

Hi Lanah. I too was banded on 9/2/10. Doing well. Hope you are too. Peggy

Hi WAH.MOM

I had my surgery yesterday around 10am. IT went well. I have been mostly sleeping since then. Last night I went for a walk in the hospital corridor and suddenly became very nauseous and very sweaty, nurse brought me back to my room and my BP was 78/56!!!! I didn't puke, and just lied down, and all was ok after that.

I have some pain, not sure what is there where it hurts, my port I guess??? I have to take antibiotic syrup and they prescribed friggin pediatric advil syrup for pain!! Can you believe that? Anyways, it's not too bad. I have been sipping Water and juice only. But I feel hungry....:biggrin:. My husband just went to buy me some broth.

LEt;s keep in touch.....

Hope all went well ^.^
