Hi,
I have been banded three days ago. November 12, 08. My doctor was Dr. Macura and Dr. Sherwinter. of Maimonedes Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY.
I am so happy to be over the surgery. I already lost 9lb,
My best advice so far for easier recovery is to force yourself out of bed as soon as possible. I did not suffer from any gas pain most people suffer from.
I am still in a lot of pain from the incision, but that is expected.
:cool:
