Hi everyone! I'm so glad I found this forum. I was just banded on 11/6 and this site has been a tremendous help. I'm looking forward to learning more and losing the weight.

Hey Langley girl,

I was banded on the 5th.

How are you feeling? How's the gas?

I'm trying to see if I'm hungry oe if it is gas LOL

Everything is ok, I cleaned the house for one hour and a half,no lifting or carrying. The rest is fine.

I drove my kids to work today and picked them up. It's 5 min. away.

I'm going back to work on Wednesday , but I've been working on my translation job since the 6th.

Hope to hear more from you. Oh and I'm seeing the Dr. tomorrow.

Hi! I was banded on Nov 6 also. I don't regret it but I do feel very tired. I am a school teacher and I really needed to go back on the 3rd day. I was exhaused at the end of the day. Tomorrow I go back after the 3 day weekend and I also go get my staples out. I am on full liquids and I will say I am alittle hungry during the day. I think thils is normal. Let me know How this complares to you and your recovery. Becky

Best to you Langley girl! You should be feeling pretty good about now. Enjoy the journey!!!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Jelbel..... the first couple of days the gas was bad. It took me awhile to figure out that it was gas and not the band or hunger. A couple of tums during the day does the trick.

HoneyB.... I'm also very tired like you. I'm used to running around with my kids all day and doing things around the house.... I was not prepared at all for how much the surgery would kick my butt. I am feeling much better now though. I see my doc on Thursday and will hopefully get the OK to start on pureed food. Thank god because I've started to get hungry again!

HoneyB...... what's up with the staples? My surgeon put internal stitches in and butterfly closures on the outside.

Hi. Glad to hear I'm not the only one with staples. On each of my little incisions I have 2 and on my port I have 6. They don't bother me too much. I get them off tomorrow. They are just starting to itch and get pretty red. Otherwise my incisions look really good.
