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!!!

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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
