Hi All!

I am a banded girl... very sore... had a rough run of it yesterday evening but feel better today. My body apparently doesn't "like" anesthesia... rough way to find this out!

Glad to have the surgery behind me and can hardly wait until I fell like myself... my "banded" self that is!

GROSS DARCY!!!! Welcome back, bandlady!! :D

I hear you about your body not "liking" anaesthesia. For me that was by far the worst thing about the whole ordeal (well, except for the gastrografin, but at least that was quick). I didn't take any pain meds because that foggy feeling was sticking around for days!

So glad to hear you're back and banded, though. Welcome to BANDLANDIA!! Take care of yourself, get enough rest, and you'll be back at 100% in no time. Yay!!

YEAH!!!! DARCY LIVES!!! And she is banded. Welcome Welcome Welcome. Now the healing begins. I agree with Alex. Take it easy, relax, give your body time to adjust to the band, don't push yourself.

So, glad to hear from you.

Darcy, you are so gross!! FAR OUT. You were here for me before the band was even a glimmer in my eye. You pulled me through some rough times... I hope one day to return the favor. I'm so flipping exicted for you!

Everyone asks how I'm feeling these days. I had a rough time from the second I woke up from surgery, till the bad pain and scar tissue poking at me right this second, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Use that heating pad girl! Actually, I never used it on the incisions, but I put it under my lower, mid and upper back as well as the bad shoulder pain that came a couple weeks after surgery.

Thrilled to see you, seriously! Gross Darcy has a gross band! Lovin it!

Whhoo hooooo!!! She's BANDED!!!!

Welcome back, Darcy! Now the fun begins!!

Congradulations Darcy, I know your glad its over. Take it slow and easy your in my prayers; Nanny

Hey Darcy, glad to hear everything went good for you. Now you are one of the gang "officially"! Rest up, dont overdue it ..

Congrats

DARCY IS BANDED DARCY IS BANDED DARCY IS BANDED DARCY...

See...it happened...and it wasn't too long was it...and your doing well besides the pain and the crappy stomach anesthesia feeling...but your BANDED!

I'm so happy for you sweetie!

Yeah Darcy! Glad your all done with surgery and made it back safely. The liquids will go by quickly and the mush will seem heavenly after all those liquids. Best wishes to you and TAKE IT EASY! Teresa

Darcy I'm So Happy for you!

Congratulations:banana

WHew! I think I might actually feel human today! Girls... let me tell you... was wondering what the heck I had done to myself! I even made myself an itty... bitty... teensy... weensy cup O jo this morning... man did that help me feel a little bit more like myself! I hope I feel good enough to do some mini walks on the treadmill soon because I am ready to rock with this new band of mine! I'm fighting the part of me that is afraid to move... or stretch... or worries when a sip turns into a little gulp because I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thirsty! I feel so ... fragile... like I could screw something up if I make one wrong move???? Am I a weirdo or what?

THanks so much girls! I'm banded... holy cow I really did it!!!!

Darcy!

Congrats girlie!!

Yes what you're feeling is normal and does fade once it sinks in

that you won't 'break'anything!!

Sooo happy for you!

Darcy, after being through 2 surgeries so far, and one more to go, I'm still paranoid about any odd sensation. I hear that means I'm normal, if you could believe that!

Take it easy, baby! Take those mini walks, just don't turn into Wonder Woman like I did. I felt great, so I pushed harder at the gym, but now I remember that the tortoise always gets there first. Oh, and those warm liquids really are nice, aren't they? I was never a "tea" girl, but now I love chamomile with honey. Have it almost every night.

Darcy so excited that your banded! I'm glad to hear your doing good.
