My name is Jolaine and I just got banded on the 21st. Dr. Simon from Syracuse, NY is who did my band. I feel great except for being sore of course. Only problem is I found that I have a little bit of bleeding coming from one of my incisions. Itʻs not much so Iʻm not gonna get freaked out about it. Think I did a little too much walking but hey I needed to get my son his Easter things right. Iʻve noticed that a lot of you said that you donʻt start your soft diet for 7 days, on the instructions I got when I left the hospital I can start after 5 days. Having a hard time with the medication they gave me, I donʻt know what to dissolve it in because it taste nasty. Any suggestions?

When I got my prescriptions filled, I just told the pharmacy I had a band and they converted it into liquid for me. I would try the old school way with apple sauce if you don't think the pharmacy will help you out.
