All set and ready to leave for the hospital ... my Banding Day has arrived! I have been looking forward to this day for a long, long time! See ya on the other side!

I know this is an exciting day for you! Good luck and I hope things go well!

Congrats!!! You will do great! Keep us posted!

That is some very exciting news! Best wishes! We will see you on the other side!

Banded yesterday along with a hernia repair, so I had to spend the night in the hospital. In minimal pain, thankfully. The gas pain in my shoulder comes and goes, but its manageable. I'm guessing my port site is the area on my tummy that is really sore. Have been using a heating pad in that area. I'm glad to be home, in my own bed since I didn't get a lick of rest in the hospital ... I swear the nurses wait outside the door until you fall asleep! So glad to be banded!!!

Congrats on your new band... keep us posted and stay hydrated!!!

Congratulations on getting your band!! Here's to a speedy recovery from the surgery!! Good luck!

Yay! Congrats! How do you feel?

Feeling almost back to normal. Still sore on my left (port) side, but from what I have read, that's going to take about a month to heal. Already off one of my BP meds too. Ready to get exercising but the hernia repair has me waiting on that. Scheduled for my first fill on the 26th. I'm ready to see what the green zone feels like

Hey bamagurl! I think we live in each other's neck of the woods. let me ask you....did you know you had a hernia before hand? I went for the anesthesia appointment today and I signed off on hernia repair if needed (nurse says that's on everybody's chart), but I don't think I have one...lol....who knows????
