Well I got banded today at about 11:30 and I am feeling great. I can't believe how quick the surgery was. I have very little pain at this point. I am sure it will hurt a lot more tomorrow. I am so excited to start living life and enjoying life with the family.

Best of luck to you!!! Please keep us updated on your progress. I'm having mine done on the 17th and I'm a little, ok a lot, worried about the pain.

Congrats, I got banded on 10/1 and had absolutely no pain and never took any pain meds. The swelling made life a little un-comfy for a couple of days, but nothing a couple of Tylenol couldn't handle. I get my first fill on the 9th.

Welcome to Bandland! I didn't have much pain either. A headache is way worse. Good luck on the liquid diet and on the mushie stage. It will go by very quickly and it's very important for your healing.

Have a great journey!

The only issue I seem to be having now is every now and then I get nausea and then dry heave. It does not feel good at all. I went to my follow up to day and they said everthing looks good. I can eat soups tomorrow as long as they are blended with no chunks. I hope this helps with the nausea.

Dry heaves??? Hmmm, I wonder if it is like I had and that was massive hunger pains. The liquids just were not cutting it for me. I had to stop the all diet and move to mushy foods after 3 days. All liquids me a feel of nausea, but once I had some grits or oatmeal, it quickly went away. I moved to fairly solid food within 14 days.

Well after i seen the doc yesterday he said eat some soups but no chunks. i at malt o meal for breakfast and some soup for lunch amd dinner. i felt a thousand times better today then yesterday. What ever caused it seems to have gone away for now. Hopefully forever.

Congrats and best wishes on your happy journey into health! Glad you are feeling good.
