  • Hi Everyone... went back to work yesterday (desk job) after being banded on Friday 10/12. Surgical sites didn't bother me much the first few days but by Monday, the gas began to give me some shoulder

I was banded today at noon. I am feeling great. Im in no pain. Let my journey begin!!!!!

I seem to have stalled with my weight loss. Is anyone else going through this?

I am working out, and staying at about 500 to 600 calories a day.

Can now say I am an official October 2012 bandster. All went well today. Dr was great. He said my liver shrinkage made his job easier. I ask for a rebate and he chuckled. Not needing pain meds at all. Little nausea.

Congratulations Msbritt& Patrick!

Follow Drs orders and you'll do fine.

I was banded today still at hospital bc I have to stay ova but everything went great n I'm feel pretty good wit des lovey drugs lol.. Oh my tummy isn't swollen like most ppl tummy b.

I have a few pallet projects too! I love the turquoise people are using now! Boyfriend hates headboards so I've decided that I'll do an on the wall faux headboard type thing' date=' but it's not attached so HA! LOL. Move closer and go junk shopping with me! Lol. My mom is already collecting jars for me for other random things! Haha. I'm also waiting for someone to remodel their home and trash their shutters so I can make something with those too! Haha
