Now in Band Land

Hey guys! I finally got my band yesterday. Everything went pretty smoothly. In fact, the Dr. said I did "perfectly." My surgeon has everyone spend one night in hospital. He banded 4 other patients yesterday and it looked like I had the easiest immediate recovery of all of them. I hope the rest o my recovery period goes as smoothly. I'm feeling a little blah today. Tired, and my incisions and port site hurt. But I was able to walk my dog almost 3/4 of a mile, so I can't be doing too badly. If any of you out there are interested, I wrote an in depth blog entry on exactly what the whole experince was like from getting to the hospital yesterday until I left today. I know everyone's experiences are different and each surgeon does it a little differently but might be helpful to those of you who are yet to be banded so you have an idea of what willl happen.

Hope all of you who are banded are doing well and good luck to those of you still waiting.
