Two weeks in

Hi everyone. My name is Jennifer and I got my band on July 2. I went today for my 2 week check-up, and I lost 16 pounds. I felt the first three days after surgery were tough. I had a lot of gas pain in my chest and shoulders. I am so happy that I decided to go through with the band, even after the pain. I wish a lot of luck to everyone in their weight loss journey.
