Well I'm back and I'm banded - I think it went well I've only had gas pain as the problem and that is resolving itself . Thanks for the support guys - I guess now the hard work begins, I've not felt hungry since the op so I can just hope it stays like that.

now your on the losing side rest up and take it easy

good luck with your journey

Thank Joanne,

So far I've just been uncomfortable but I think I'm doing fine.

I see your weight loss is going well! Congrats!

Thanks for all your support as well - if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have even gone to Belgium - my health (have you seen the news headlines re hospitals *shock*) and wallet thank you :Banane30:

I can't believe I've actually done it!!

Hi Foxy how are you now,recovering well i hope .How is the hunger?

Mike

Hi Mike, I'm doing fine. I not feeling hungry really - I get the odd feeling of 'head hunger' but it's managable. I'm not feeling like I'm being denied food - I can do anything for a week.

My biggest problem is my port aches and wind/gas, but even that is moving at a decent rate. I'm back to work on Monday and I think I'm going to feel ok by then.

How are you doing, any regrets? Are you on solid food yet?

Hi Foxy yes head huger is a problem,keeping busy takes my mind off it,i ahe had 2 weeks pre op diet of sahkes 2 weeks post op clear liquids and now i have 2 weeks mushies before i can eat real food.My port is still painfull too it seems to be normal to feel pain for around 6-8 weeks from the port site.I do have regrets.........that i did not do this years ago and would do it again tomorrow.

Mike
