Hi everyone! Well, I was just banded on Friday! Everything went well, better in fact than the doctors had been hoping for. I needed to stay on aspirin for heart stuff, but the bleeding wasn't too bad. They kept me overnight, just to keep an eye on me, and I came home last night. It's nice to be home, although I miss the hospital bed.

My kids are still gone (we farmed them out for the whole weeked) so it's nice and quiet around here.

My abdomen is pretty sore - I need help sitting up, but the girdle thing helps a ton! I'm also feeling pretty bloated. I had really bad pain in my shoulder from the gas, but that's mosly gone now, too. I'm taking the liquid percoset right now, but I'll start moving to Tylenol pretty soon so I can drive.

Anyway, I don't really have any questions yet, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I did it and it went great!

Thanks!

I was banded on November 13th also and it has not been easy...being hungry all day everyday is my main problem...but! I am hanging in there. It seems it is different for everyone.

I GUESS EVERYONE is different hang in there after a week and a half or so i started feeling alot better i just keep telling myself it will all be worth it lol! good luck god bless!
