Hello Everyone,

I just had the band done yesterday. I was a little nervous to say the least, never had surgery before. It went great!!! I was walking around in 2 hours and did not need the pain medication. I had Dr. ABkin in Dover, New Jersey. He was great. I am home today but I will be going to work tomorrow. I have some gas issues in my upper left chest but that is about it. Now just looking to lose some weight.

Congrats! I have mine scheduled for Monday. I hope mine goes as smoothly as that. Good luck on your journey!

Woo Hoo!!! Take it easy tomorrow at work. You should be fine, but maybe tired. So just be careful. And congrats!!! It only gets better from here.

Congratulations! It sounds like you are healing well. Take care of yourself and fill us in on your progress.

Congrats!!!

Please join us in the December Bandsters thread as we are all going through this stage together. I am glad you are feeling well.

That is great to hear W1, hope mine goes as smoothly next Wednesday! Good Luck!

Good for you! You bounce back very quickly. I too went back to work the next day but just to do a very quiet short run at lunch and dinner in my restaurant....I was just fine......but very tired......no pain at all, at times, in the beginning, just a little queeziness in my tummy.
