Hi everyone, I came home from NYU yesterday after being banded monday.All went well. I of course have some of the usual symptons of nausea, slight fever, and light swelling and sores but not bad at all. Overall I'm doing well. Dr. George Fielding was great, the cuts are very small and not even black and blue. He also fixed my reflux which I already appreciate because normally I would have indigestion from the liquids only diet. The worst part is the nausea which hopefully will go away in a day or so.I keep thinking about this great journey I've just started. WOW!!

Hey Nick, Welcome to Bandland!!!!!!!!!! Hang in there and the nausea will get better!!

(((HUGS)))

nick, Im glad to hear your home and doing well. I also had my surgery on Monday. Im doing okay a little sore and some bruising but no nausea. My Dr. found a spot on my liver she is checking on. Hope nothing serious. Well, keep in touch and good luck.

Welcome to the Banded Gentry!

Nick,

Glad to hear you are doing ok. Welcome to Bandland. Much success on your journey.

Welcome to Bandland!!!!! woohoo

I feel so remiss at not posting to this site since a couple of days after my surgery 5/5/2005. I have lost 104 pounds as of today. I feel great and look even better. What a new lease on life! Dr. Fielding is the best! The only time I have problems is when I try to test the limit. If I stick to what agrees with me and don't eat too close to bedtime, I'm just fine. Thanks to all for the encouragement and best wishes to all.

wow what an inspiration!! So happy for you.

Congrads to you. Some people fly through the surgery like a dentist visit, and it sounds like you might be one of them. Take it easy, be good to your band, and keep us updated on your progress.

Holy Cannolli. Well done! Thanks for the update.
