hey everyone! i got banded on tuesday and today is the first day i feel normal enough to spend some time on the computer. surgery went great and i can't say enough nice things about dr. harrison and his team at lehigh valley hospital. i was pretty sore the past few days but today i feel great. i've been doing laps around the house to keep myself moving and today i think i'm gonna venture outside. the liquid diet is going pretty well. i was getting really sick of clear liquids and my dr. said to move on to full liquids so i wouldn't go crazy. now i'm much happier with more choices instead of jello or broth. plus i've already lost 6 pounds! i know it's just from the liquid diet but it's something. i'm so excited about being banded!:thumbup:

Hello Trish: Glad that you have recovered enough to use the computer, go outside, have regular liquids, and lost some weight! Sounds like great success all around! It gets better everyday! Take care. Kim

Congratulations! Glad to hear you are doing well!

Congratulations on being banded. I'm glad to hear you had a positive experience with Lehigh Valley. My wife and i were going to go there but earliest we would be banded would be February or March and we did not want to wait that long. Hopefully by then we will be approaching our goal weights.
