Hi I am new to site. I am having surgery this Friday. I am looking for people starting there journey about the same time as me with similar lives. I have 1 daughter and am married and I am a full time nurse!

I am almost a month out and I'm a mother and have 1 daughter, I'm single but work full time as a Training Coordinator for a major oil and gas company in Houston, TX.

Had surgery about 7 weeks ago - mother of two and full time nursing student

well hello to both of you. glad to get to know a couple of people. any advice u wish you would have gotten?

I am planning on returning to work the Monday after my surgery. Although I lift a lot at work its mostly by choice and I have spoken to my bosses about it and I will no be required to do any heavy lifting. unrealistic?

Im 24 married with 1 son full time CNA for the hospital and nursing student. I get banded sept 10

Mom 2 boys. Nursing student. Get banded aug 21. Awesome to meet everyone

I just arrived home from surgery. Not too much pain. Just the gas is killing me. So stock up on Gas X. They are me new best friends

Im 26 married with a little girl and a dispatcher and I was banded on aug 13th... Wishing everyone good luck on their journey

I was banded on 8/14. I work as a full time nurse. One thing that has really helped me is a heating pad. Will go back to work this wed. Great to have support on this site! In the mushie food stage now. Just trying to take everything slow. Good luck to everyone. We can do it! We all took a positive step towards being healthy.

Yes I agree the heating pad is my best friend these days just want the CO2 to leave my system already. Day 3 post op. hope everyone is doing well on here
