It's finally here. I wish I could say I'm excited, but I'm scared to death. On my way to surgery. I'll keep you posted.

You'll do fine. And it will be over before you know it. So excited for you...Im there this time next week.

Good Luck ! YOu will do just fine...let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it.

Praying for God to give you peace. I was banded on the 19th. It was so easy. You will do great. Your next post wil be of a banded lady, yay!

Good luck! You will do fine and then you will begin the new you!

Thanks everyone. Wish I could say it was a breeze. I had natural childbirth and a C-section and I have to say I'd do either of those again in a heartbeat compared to this. I am so sore. Nauseous. It hurts to dry heave. Yuck. I'm barely taking in fluids and they almost kept me. Glad to be home and even though this sucks, I am sure it will be worth it.

But it is over now and the new begins.

Oh Gosh....Ive had two c-sections and told myself never again because the last one hurt so bad. Yikes! I guess this will pass just as the pain from the csections did and it will all be a distant memory and worth it in the end.

Passioatehrt- not too bad this morning. No shoulder pain. Just pain at my port site. Taking half a dose of Lortab. It gives me great hope everyday will get better.

You will feel better everyday! The port site will take the longest to heal. Good luck!

Hope you are feeling much better...It has been three days for me and I felt a little normal today...getting better each day.

Thanks. I feel a little better in some ways. I'm having pretty bad lower abd gas pains. TMI alert... I haven't passed gas yet. I've been walking, tried pillows, and I'm out of ideas. I wish today were not Saturday so I could call my surgeons office. Grr

Just make sure if u haven't had a BM after three days u take some milk of magnesium. It will make u feel like a new person hehe. It will take several hours to work so don't double dose or u will have new issues

Its normal from the painkillers to get really constipated....my doc told me to take Milk of Magnesia....you will probably not be able to go number 2 for some time...but its normal so don't worry.
