Had procedure done at True Results. They had me in and out of sugery in about an hour and in recovery for about 2 hours. Some modertate pain but for the most part I've been up and around pretty good.

Holy crap, dude! You rock! You're actually online and you had surgery today??? The first 12 hours for me were spent in la-la land.

Good Luck!

I was out of it until around 3:00 this afternoon, I think part of it was I did't sleep well last night..nerves

Hey, he's not the only one, I was banded today too. I'm looking forward to losing some of this weight. I've yo-yo'd for years. Congratulations.

Congrats to both of you and good luck on your journey. Sounds like you two will do great with the band.

I hope I am that ambulatory tomorrow! I will go nuts if I can't be somewhat normal... even if I will be a bit foggy. :party: Seriously, I am in awe. How are you feeling?

Welcome!

Hey, Jfert1, congratulations, I am a Spivak patient too, March 28, I am going in for my 2nd fill thursday, I guess thats today, haha, Do make sure you get your rest, the most important thing right now is to heal properly, your insides will take longer than your outside will and you are still numb from surgery, you don't want your suctures inside to pull or your port to shift, so go rest,, and walk, rest, and walk, Hope to see ya at the support meetings. There is one this Tuesday night, 6:30 his office if your up to it,, If you have already been coming we may have already met. I didn't make the last one, was sick, but was at the one before that. Anyway, congratulations again,, and remember gas x and heating pads are your best friend if the gas pain kicks in.

Congratulations to you also photoegor,, didn't mean to leave you out. Same goes for you,, take care of yourselves these first few weeks. Good luck

You go dude, I had mine a week before. Good luck
