Hi everyone

Firstly, thanks Eileen for starting and continuing such a wonderful thread

Well, it's a week tomorrow since I was banded. It seems a lifetime ago lol. Sorry to have taken a while to get here with an update, but one day away and soooo much to catch up on.

Everything went very smoothly. I was under by 8am and back in my bed by 11.30am. Home the next day. There were three of us in the same room all banded by the same doctor, so the next day we had a little chat which was nice.

I'm surprised at how little pain there is. I had no shoulder tip pain at all and only pain where the incisions are. I haven't taken any pain medication for two days and feel fine. I should mention I have a very low pain threshold.

The liquids are going down fine, but after two weeks of optifast pre surgery I am really hanging out for mushies lol. I just want real food

Well good luck to everyone waiting and get well thoughts to everyone healing. And another special thank you to Eileen

Betts, WELCOME !! I've added you to the list. HUGS

Theresa, glad to hear from you. WOW, you seem to be doing really well. I'm so glad my doc isn't making me do two weeks of liquids b/4 surgery. But then I'm eating like a pig b/c of my nerves...oy.

I don't think anyone is going in until the 20th.

HUGS !!!!

HI there! Can I be added as well??? My band date was October 1st. I'm on day 2 of mushies, and have recovered so well. My incisions are healed and I barely have any pain at all!! I was sore the first day after surgery, but had no shoulder pain, and very little gas pain at all. Everything went smoothly... the clear liquid stage was rough, and even full liquids was challenging, guess I'm just anxious and ready to get to the "restricted and losing" stage!! So impatient... Glad to be among so many others taking the plunge!! Much success to everyone!!! :-) Laura
