Hi Chris from another Buckeye Bandster! I wish you all the best in your surgery. Come drop in sometime on the Ohio Forum group thread under USA Local Support Groups.

Hi Chris!! I was banded last Monday and feel pretty good!!! my advise to you is get up and walk at the hospital as soon as you feel you can. The sooner you get moving the better!!! also take chapstick and loose clothes to go home in!! Be patient with yourself -- it took longer than i thought to start feeling back to normal, but 1 week out and i walked around the block today and finally didn't look like an old lady-- :cool2:

Good luck and let us know how you did!!

Hi Chris - Tomorrow is my big day too! I'm getting nervous, not so much of the surgery but about what this means for the rest of my life. I'm sure I'm ready but I think it's probably just normal to have second thoughts at this moment. I don't want to back out; I would just like to be about 6 weeks out and working the band. Good luck to both of us. Simon
