After having my surgery postponed twice, I got banded today. I am so excited to be in the post-op portion of my journey. Surgeon said everything went well and besides being exhausted and my left shoulder hurting, I feel great. I know the shoulder will be something I will have to work through, and my belly is a ittle sore, but nothing major. If it wasn't for the shoulder pain, I would not need pain meds at all. Surgeon found a hiatal hernia, which he had suspected, and repaired it too. I am beyond happy and I am already down 12 lbs from pe-op diet.

Congratulations on being banded and on your weight loss!! Pain will get better day by day.

Yay... you finally did it! Congrats and welcome to banded life!

welcome to the banded world!

Congrats, this was a freebie that my Dr. through in as well, I haven't had to take my previcid since the surger.

Congratulation fellow bandster! Take care through the healing stages!

Thank you all! I would be thrilled to not have to take acid reducers anymore.

Congratulations!
