Banded 02/08/13

I was banded on 02/08/13. I'm really bummed today. I keep asking myself "is it worth it?" Is it normal for your stomach to start growling? Does it mean you're hungry?

      Is it worth it? YES!! Does the stomach growling mean your hungry? Maybe maybe not. My tummy talks a lot now that I have been banded. The fact you had surgery 2 days ago I assume your on clear liquids.

      You just had surgery on your stomach. Of course it's going to react? Why would you be bummed? What did you expect? tmf
