I was banded yesterday (MArch 10th) by Dr. Jayaseelan in Plano, Texas. I was most scared of the IV - bad experience once. The nurse was GREAT. Deadened the area for me first -no pain! I have to say I am a bit surprised how much I hurt last night and today. Dr. Jay told my husband I could probably do a lot of my normal routine today....I think perhaps he has never actually had surgery himself! Shuffling around my house is about all I feel like I can do right now.

Maybe I'm just a wimp!:mad2:

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Today is day 14 post op! I can finally say that i am glad i did it. I feel fine and i'm eating mushies. My hunger has come back (not sure if that is good)

I guess now the real journey begins.... to keep loosing weight and make it to my goal. Good luck all.
