Got banded this morning....Feb 5, 2014

I got banded today. I am having some gas pains and walking around as much as I can. Everything went great. Dr. Bagnato is my surgeon and he is great. I am excited to see my results. I will take a pic on the 4th of every month to see my progress. Hope to find a support group and clothing exchange in Warner Robins, Ga area...or at least see who would like to get one started.

Thanks everyone. A little more sore today but hopefully it will start going down the more I walk.

Hi! Angela

So happy to find someone in my area! I'm about 45 minutes from you! Hope you get some relief soon! I have my surgery on March 26. Message me and let me know that size clothing you need!

It took about a week to get it all gone for me. However, I did end up back at the hospital for dehydration and a UTI. But all is well now. I feel great! Yesterday was the 4th, so it was weigh in day. I lost 16 pounds for the first month. I get my first fill on March 19. So that will be the next step.

Just take it day by day. It will get better and better. Congrats and you will do great!
