Hi from Long Island, NY. I was banded 02/27/08 at Peconic Bay Medical center in Riverhead, NY by Dr Mehta.

I am recovering well and I even plan to go back to work tomorrow. I am not hungry so the full liquid diet is not bothering me at all. I am actually more worried about eating enough food because I have no appetite.

My surgery went well but I did not a bad reaction to the pain med and got sick 3 times the first night and once more before I went home on the 28th. But since I have been home I have kept everything down. I also had alot of back pain but that is gone now. I did some working this morning and it was a little uncomfortable after awhile but it was not painful.

I am excited about the changes to come and can't wait to start seeing the results!

congratulations and I'm glad you are doing so well. I'm very nervous about my upcoming band in Texas on 3/14. Any tips?

The only tip I can think of is to remember that each day is going to get easier following the surgergy.

I went back to work today and I was tired at the end of the day but otherwise feeling fine. My appetite is improved greatly today so I think the ability to get back into my "routine" is actually helping! Good luck!
