Hi all! I was banded yesterday and I am so excited! I have had no problems drinking liquids and urinating which is good. I am just really sore on my left side. It feels like I have a knife through my body still. I have the heavy chest and bloted tummy, like everyone else. I have been taking Gas-Ex and trying to walk as much as possible. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the support!

Jessica, sounds like you're doing everything right, it just takes time. I was banded on Monday and I feel the same way.

You should drop in on the monthly support group for July 07 banders called Lucky # Sevens. We have about 70 people there that are getting banded in July this year. We'd be excited to have you come join us for support.
