I am finally banded and so super excited! I feel like crap though! This gas pain is a real killer and my mouth is so dry and my throat hurts from intubation. Pain killers are a blessing though! I am so excited to start my journey! Right now I'm taking it slow just excited now to go buy some gas x hahaha! This pain isn't unbearable with pain meds and it's so so worth it!

Congrats!! The discomfort doesn't last forever, and you'll be feeling great in no time!! Wishing you the best of luck on your new journey!

Congrats on your new journey. I always heard everyone say that it would go by fast and you will be on with your life. Well, that is exactly what happens!!! Enjoy the ride!!!

Congrats! And good luck!

Congratulations! You will feel better after some good sleep. And don't forget the walking!

Congrats! Get some rest and let all those nasty anesthesia drugs work their way out if your system! Sip Sip sip that water and Walk Walk Walk off that gas, lol. Best of luck, it is gonna be so worth it!

Congrats and best of luck! You're gonna do great! Feel better and keep us posted!

You'll forget about the pain when you're buying a new smaller pair of jeans I promise.

Welcome to the beginning of a healthier life, my love!

Congratulations on being banded.

Congratulations !

Thanx everyone! Been feeling much better! Still tryin to work out my gas pains though. I am hoping to be back to school by Tuesday and work by Friday. Haven't been hungry and kind of eating at my own pace. I'm on liquids so lots of Popsicles and water and Gatorade broth and pudding! Can't wait to eat normal food again though and really get started! Hoping the dr clears me for puréed or soft foods on Friday
