I was banded today through SWLC in Vancouver By Dr Mitchell he was great the whole surgical team was wonderful!!! I'm on bed rest for 24 hrs I'm not in too much pain but I'm definitely uncomfortable!!! And very sleepy!!! Dr said it went great!! So now I guess I let the healing take its course.

Congrats make sure u get up and move around if not the gas they filled u up w gets stuck and it is miserable that was my only problem and I was walking just not enough. Good luck I'm only 1 month out and it has already started to change my life

Yes I have discovered that!! The air is terrible!! I am trying to walk around as much as I can right now...I have a head ache that's pretty bad did u have a head ache?

I did not but its probably from the anesthia the day of I slept alot the 2nd night was when I had the gas pain and they did not tell me I could take gas x when I did I felt better right away. Try and sleep the headache might go away. The anesthia takes a bit to get out of system. Again gd luck

I'm getting banded this Friday at the SWLC in Mississauga .....How long were you under Anest. for?

I forgot to ask the dr. n i'm so scared right now, to the point that I'm writing my will right now.....lol...hey, you never know. But I was just curious to know....

I am excited for you! Keep us posted.

Well I went under about 10:30 and I was wheeled into recovery by 11:40 so maybe just over an hr it was that bad I was just super tired after I came out!! I still am tired I just doze off and on all day!! Good luck with ur surgery keep us posted!!
