Banded like a bandit !

Hi all... I'm new :)

I was banded 5 days ago on March 22, 2011. It was also my birthday... I'm hoping its the greatest gift I've ever bought myself :)

I am healing up just fine. I return back to work on Tuesday so I'm trying to relax and listen to my body so I know the signs of hunger and full and just plain annoyed :)

The worst thing I've dealt with so far is a swollen uvula. Coughing, spitting, eating, drinking irritates it. Any tips on how to shrink this sucker would be great :)
