Good luck to you and wishing you a speedy recovery. I'm being banded tomorrow and YES having all type of emotional issues. Am I doing the right thing? I know this is normal so I will ignore my misgivings and concentrate on getting fine as wine for my next vacation! Size 6 I'm coming for you!!!! Being able to maybe run a 12 minute mile, you bet!

Good luck and I that you will have a speedy recovery.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes! I am finally home stayed in the hospital for a day. Pain not bad at all just of course a little gas pain but walking really does the trick. the worst part of my hospital stay was basically yesterday getting the upper GI to see how liquid was getting down my band. That stuff was nasty almost felt like I was going to throw up! thank God I didnt and I was able to get my 1st shake down and they sent me home. It was great to sleep in my own bed last night. I am a little sore at my incision sites but that is to be expected. I have six incision sites but from what I can see they are pretty small so hopefully will heal nicely and wont have any complications. so far NO REGRETS except wish I would have did this sooner! O yea I want to get on the scale but wont until a week out I want some of the swelling to go down before I get on a scale again! Best of luck to everyone with upcoming surgery! again thanks for all the well wishes!

Best of luck. Chronicle your experience for us and let us know how you are doing. Prayers!!!
