As of yesterday I am banded. The surgery went well, and a one night stay in the hospital. I'm sore, especially around the port area. Feeling a little better tonight than I did this morning. No bad gas pains....thank God!!! Trying to stay hydrated.. and sipping, sipping sipping.

Yay John!!! Congrats to you and so glad to hear it's not too bad for you! Knew you would do well tho... keep us posted and in a week, I too shall be posting!

Good for you! By the weekend you will be feeling more like yourself. I was banded last Monday and by Saturday I finally felt like me. And every day feeling better and better. Wishing the same for you!

You guys are lucky... in my experience I had so much pain they had to put me on prescription pain meds.

I am so happy it is going well for you.

For me it got better the second week after I had my surgery. By then you will probably not feel anything at all.

Great Job John...

I had my band on monday and was home by 12:30.

It all went very fast.. pain is turning to soreness but I have some leg cramps today that are making me worried about not getting enough fluid intake..

glad you are doing well.
