Was a beautiful one. No gas, two incisions, just soreness on the incisions and the hospital staff monitored me and provided the support I needed. It was a beautiful awakening from anesthesia, now I am home, excited for every new day ahead!

Congrats on your new band and your "journey" that you have started. I was banded in March and have had a very good experience so far.

I wish you luck and happy losing!!

Congratulations Iris!! I am glad you experience was a good one.

Mine was great, I even went back to work the next afternoon. No pain, gas for about and hour the next morning, then gone!!

Good Luck along your new path.

Fab and Grandma, thank you both for the well wishes. I am glad I crossed over into the journey!

Iris, I am so glad you had a good experience. I hope the rest of your journey goes as well!

I'm glad things went so smoothly. I hope to be saying those same words in the next two weeks.

Wow Iris! That's fantastic!

I was banded the same day as you. I have 6 incisions! Only the big one is tender. Otherwise I've had no problems either. I'm a lazy toad & taking 2 weeks off work lol.

How are you going with your post op diet? I feel like I could eat a horse at times but am sticking to the instructions as I dont want to do any damage.

Good luck with your journey. You're off to a great start

Jen,

I was very hungry last night possibly because everything came out (sorry to be so blunt, lol) I have a followup appointment tomorrow, and besides a minor headache from time to time, I am doing well. Just staying in the home and relaxing, walking, drinking water (ughhh), broth, etc. My only issue is the carnation instant breakfast (yuck!) Maybe its the vanilla flavor but a e-buddy told me to get slim fast and that should suffice. There is also this bariatric shop by my home so I may go there, they blend drinks to see what you like before you make a purchase. They take online orders if you are interested heres the link http://www.bariatriceating.com/

Good luck on the rest of your journey and I hope you have great success!
