I've Joined the Ranks...I'm Banded!!

Banded this morning! Dr says it went great. I am hurting, but so happy. I feel full of hope & power. I know that probably sounds weird, but it is how I feel.

Start walking a little each hour. Helps with any gas to be released. SIP your Water. Use heating pad. And take your pain meds if you have any for a good nights sleep.

Best wishes

Congratulations! You deserve to feel full of hope and power, because your decision is empowering!

Yes, as the poster above states, take your pain meds BEFORE you start hurting. It's much easier to prevent pain than to bring it down once it has climbed.

Congrats!!

Congratulations!!!! Your gonna do great!!!
