I was banded yesterday..........I'm home recovering now and feeling pretty darn good.........I look forward to the results over the next months and years.......

Glad to hear you are doing ok. Did you have the surgery right at Tlbc? I thought they only done them on Thurs or Fri. Maybe summer hours lol.

yup.....had it at tlcb yesterday at 2pm. I had to spend the night since I have sleep apnea.....my nurse, Christina, took amazing care of me.

I am sooooo happy for you girl....I can't wait to hear about your progress.

Congratulations... It's nice to know you are feeling well, I will be banded on August 15th.

Congratulations! Let us know how you are doing.

Hurray for you, Sybaritic. One of the most sybaritic experiences I have had was my first 3 days post op. I spent them in bed, reading, napping, and goofing on the supply of that splendid demerol which nice Dr. Yau so kindly made available to me via a prescription. :bounce: My cat kept me company and my husband made a point of looking in on me. It was an altogether fine time apart from the gas cramps. Those were a real killer.

sweetforlife Welcome to bandland. How did you make out with your surgery?

Welcome to bandland Sybaritic01! The worst is over. Now you have to go through 6 weeks of healing - clear fluids, full fluids, mushy foods ... first fill, 2nd fill, third fill....then you have to start changing your eating habits, blockages...chew slowly....:biggrin1:. Two months banded and I'm talking like a pro . Have I mastered them all? Yeah right! But I'm loving my journey learning all of it and you will too.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks.....I'm a TLBC girl too.........just 10 days banded now....I'm feeling pretty good.....a little low energy.....a little tired....all to be expected I would assume.....losing some weight.....taking some short walks......doing some journaling.....feeling quite focused........my appetite is starting to come back so I know I have to be careful and stick to the full liquid plan.....whenever I'm hungry I drink water.....there's no damn way I'm spending $16,500 and not be successful......I HAVE to do this.....I am choosing health.....and next summer as a celebration I want to kakak the 100km Humber River.......

I am with you on that Syba, too expencive to mess up. we have got to prove we are strong and we can do it.we have the band to help us now. I just got banded on Aug. 16th, Dr. Yau, glad to be here.
