Hi everyone, my first post. i was banded on the 26th, was told it was "textbook" discharged on the 27th, came home, started running temp of 101. Back to hospital overnite, had antibiotics. home today, but, still do not feel good. I have so much gas!!! i am walking around, sipping fluids slowly, but still have awful painful gas. Also, loose stools, probably from the meds. I really want to cry and cry. I am so scared I did the wrong thing!!! Did anyone else feel this way at first????

Well the antibiotics have done what they were supposed to do so now I know what a normal person feels like after surgery. I am just a little tender still but I am not nearly as emotional and I am getting more and more energy as the days go on. Now if the scale moves I am happy :confused:

Hello all, I was banded 10/26/2007 and I am down 38lbs, 5 fills and it does get a whole lot better, you just have to keep up your fills and get to the point where I am at "stopping point" I am trying to figure out how to shake it up again.

Hey hey

How is everyone going. I still feel pretty slow I guess is the best word. I have great doctors though that are looking after me. I think Ive put on a lil weight but im carrying some fluid in my lower body and still lots of sweeling from the infection. I hope you are all doing well

xoxo

I am at week 3 and the weight loss has slowed but I knew that would happen. I feel mostly normal with being able to eat soft foods now. I am really looking forward to my first fill so I can feel the benefits of the band.

Ky, I am glad you are doing better! Hopefully in a week or two you will be back to normal and well on your way to loosing the rest of your weight!
