Tomorrow Is My Day!

Hi everyone! Well tomorrow is my day, I'm feeling so many things right now. nervous, anxious, excited! I don't think i'm too nervous about the actual sergury, because i've had surgeries before. I'm more anxious about afterward. I'm praying for a speedy recovery, and i'm hoping that I can come on tomorrow night and tell you all my experiences so far.

You'll do fine. I was banded exactly 1 week ago and despite some abdominal pain I feel great. I think that your positive attitude will help you through those first few days of recovery.

Good luck!!!

Good luck! :D

I had surgery on April 24th ..I feel that eating slow you can feel your tummy is full, doesn't take much. I'm really happy I had it done. no hair loss, I do make sure I get all my protein in any way I can that helps for hair loss and good health.
