Congratulations!! Just do what the doc says and I will tell you in advance, Be ready to get up and walk, walk, walk. It will really make your recovery so much easier. I was banded 4 weeks ago and I am really happy I did it. It sounds like you have your head in the right place and are excited, so I am sure you will be happy too. :rolleyes:

So I made it out just fine, little to no pain. The shoulder pain is practically non existant. I guess im going to get out and then take a nap.

Good to hear! I'm starting to feel a little nervous about my surgery Thursday! Are you out patient?

You'll do fine it'll be over before you know it just get up and move as soon as you can. I'll pray that everything goes well with your surgery.

Congratulations!! I know you are so excited!! :rolleyes:
