Banded yesterday!

I I was a total nervous wreck,but it went so well. My biggest fear was being put to sleep and as it turns out that ended up being my favorite part! I showered this morning and am ready to move around today. I basically slept yesterday away. My husband has been so great,he set an alarm to go off every four hours to give me my meds and make sure I got out of bed safely to go to the bathroom,etc. So far im sore today but im feeling great!! I cant wait to get this part over and move on to getting fills and losing weight!

Thanks everyone! Got my first fill today,a little behind on that but I live two hours away from my fill Dr so its tough to get a appt that fits my schedule. Anyhow. I almost passed out I was so scared. I felt like an idiot,it hurt yeah,but it was like getting a shot and then it was over Haha. It wasn't a bad pain just a weird pain.

i'm at a stand still after 13 pounds down...but i am absolutely ok with that!!...its been one week and 2 days i'm finally starting to feel stronger...liquid diet really had me feeling weak, glad that phase is over! :)
