Hi All,

I just got banded yesterday, July 19, 2007. Dr Gorecki at Methodist Hospital, in Brooklyn, was just wonderful. So far I havent experienced any pain was able to walk as soon as I came out of recovery room. I will be looking forward to any advice or suggestions from my fellow lapbanders.

Well let me be the first to congratulate you. Much success to you in your journey.:clap2:

WELCOME! This is such a great support group! Glad you are here!:clap2:

:)Congratulations,

I hope your jorney continues to be pain free. Good luck.

Congrats! I was banded 7/17 and still have some pain, like when getting out of bed or from a sitting position. I have this very heavy bloated feeling, I hoep it goes away soon. I'm on full liquid diet now, not so bad, either. I ask myself though, "did I do the right thing?" And the response I get is when I start to really begin to lose, I won't be asking myself that anymore ) Good luck to you...

Congratulations!!! I was banded on the same day at Hershey Medical Center in PA. I am doing great! I only have some discomfort at the port site and very little in the way of gas pain. I only have trouble getting in or out of bed. I'm glad you're doing so well.

Best of luck for your continued recovery!

Debbie

Thank you. How's it going for you?

Congrats! I have a little soreness too. Basically, I'm afraid to move but still no pain. I'm on clear liquids too till my post op this coming Weds. My port site is a tender too, its a few inches above my navel. Were you given that option?

You know I asked myself the same thing in the recovery room. Well at least we're all on this journey together. I confident that you will do well.

Congrats!!!

Thanks Becca I totally agree!

Sjonjii- I'm so happy for you! I can't wait for me!
