back to work..

[jsws91 153]

I was banded may 30.. im back at work today. im feeling pretty good, but the worst part was the clothes this morning. some pants too baggy, some too tight near my incisions.. bra bothering my top incision, itchy belly from the healing... :-) all of it helps me remember how far I have come since the first call to the dr at the end of December.

and I am sooo happy!! I have lost 31 pounds so far, 12 on dr supervised monitoring, and the rest between beginning my preop and now!

I can't wait to see the changes!

my husband says to think back to a month ago when I was waiting on approval from ins.... thinking it would never happen!

I was banded June 4 and am on my way to work this morning too. I wish I had taken another week off. Good luck on your journey -

Good for you.......you're on your way!

If you have a job where you sit at a desk all day, get up and walk around periodically. With the bra, maybe put a small piece of cloth; hanky type of thing, under the bottom...where the wire is (if you have wire). Just something to lift it a bit, to take the direct pressure off of the incision. A thick wad of Kleenex works, too.

WOW! that is amazing, well done on your loss so far!!!!!

I was banded on the 3rd of June... I go back to work on the 17th I cannot wait for that day to come.......just to go back to work and to be able to move on the 3rd week phase.

WELL DONE AGAIN!

Banded on 3rd and back to my office job. I hear you on the bra thing and itchy belly. I'm feeling much better this week. Gas was a killer! Good luck today everyone

I have the glue on outside and any inside stitches dissolve. Today I'm hungry but I feel lighter, I have lost around 10lbs last couple weeks. Everyone's different but I love food and I was a carb junkie so it's challenging. I have to practice a lot at chewing slow! That will be hard but I don't want to get sick
