JULY 2013 BAND BUDDIES

[maddoxam13 13]

I was just banded this morning!!! Feeling ok so far but really sore on the upper abdomen for obvious reasons!!! Not looking forward to tomorrow since I see a lot of people saying how the pain is worse day 2! Sad!!!

I'm on liquid Percocet and its not helping with the pain too much! Oh well I know it'll all be worth it in the end and this pain will be a distant memory!!

Hang in there! Ice packs on my upper tummy helped me a lot.

Looks fantastic actually I would still ey to keep it covered but if that's the bad one its not bad at all!!

Maddox you will be fine. Day 2 was the worst but only a few hours because I wasn't able to hit my morphine pump. If u have pain meds it's okay!!! Everyone says this but I swear every day u feel way better than the day before starting after day 3. It's incredible how much you heal like overnight! Welcome to the other side Bd just be so happy and grateful you are now able to start a happy healthier you where you can gain confidence and self esteem!! Congratulations and stay strong. You will be great!

Did they hurt pulling them off? I'm waiting for my doctor cause I'm a chicken but just curious. Also had a real bm and it wasn't painful. I took 2 stool softners around 11-12 I suggest doing that for people who r in pain. It went perfectly thank god!!

Glad it all worked out ok

4 did not hurt. The fifth was immediately resistant so I didn't push it and just left it on there.

Good idea but ur pic wasn't bad at all. I was bit in the face by a German Shepard at age 8 and had plastic surgery and you could see my teeth when my mouth was closed so it was bad. my mom would smear liquid Vitamin e on my face. My scars are hardly noticeable. I never had anyone notice them I had to tell them. I am hoping to one day be able to wear two piece again cause I have little stretch marks and I want to heal and cover my incision marks bet as possible. Ill be using vitamin e on my scars.

Day 6 and feeling better by the day! Staples out tomorrow! Worked yesterday, came home after 6 hours. Went in today and worked 7 hours in the office then had a dinner seminar for 3 hours. I had broth while everyone else was eating lamb chops and drinking wine! But it was fine, I was happy with my broth!!!! My back started hurting and I felt a little nausea, left the seminar early. Feeling much better lying in my bed! I hope everyone is doing well!!!!

Sadly I don't think so, but if you are craving that taste you might be able to find a Protein powder flavored with it.
