Hi,

I just got banded yesterday. So far, so good... Lots of swelling and bloating, and a fair amount of general discomfort. But my surgeon says that it will all go away soon. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this Discussion group.

Warmest Regards, Everyone!

    Welcome aboard! Today is my 3 week anniversary and i am feeling great, still a lil' tender but no biggie. I am eating soft solids(fish) and things couldnt be better! The discomfort you are feeling should go away in about a week, i found (with other surgeries c-section etc.) that the more i walked the better i felt so on week two i walked a mile everyday. so keep moving!
