Yay Karen! Congrats to you! I am so proud of you and I know you are so very happy to have this done. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Day 2 post-op, and so far it continues to be a cake walk! I feel remarkably well. Shoot, I've had menstrual cramps that were worse than this ... but then again, I am taking some good pain meds.

Sounds like you are an old pro now!

Hollar if you need anything

Jill, you're next!

I continue to do really well. I'm still very bloated. I don't know how much of this is swelling or surgical gas? Regardless, I'm feeling good!

I hope so!!!

Dr B has all my paperwork and I was told my file is on his desk for review and once he signs off on it, the office sends it in to UHC.

I hope its soon.

The project I am on at the bank is heading in to overdrive and I need to know when my "vacation" will be.

How's your stomach feeling?

I'm still really bloated, but I'm feeling good! Localized tenderness is the only pain I have. My incisions are starting to itch, a good sign of healing. I went out for a little while this afernoon, and did fine. I'm well on my way to recovery.

Karen - I'm so happy for you - Welcome to BandLand.

I cannot get over how great I feel! The bloat is starting to come down, and my weight with it. I'm actually starting to feel hungry :hungry: again, and can feel my band and port! :clap2: I'm so excited about the future with my band; for the first time in a very long time I truly believe I will be healthy again.

I want to say Thank You to all of my LBT friends and my family for the awesome support you've given me during this journey! :cool: It's been a long time coming, and without you I might have given up the fight!

CONGRATULATIONS Karen!!! I'm glad to hear your doing so well, although not surprising. I can relate to your excitement about the future being recently banded myself. :biggrin1: It does seem to give you a new found enthusiasm, doesn't it? Take care!!
