I'm Banded!!!

Lap Band Up Date


I’m now officially banded. Yahoo!!! I got banded on Friday. The surgery went very smoothly. I was up and walking around within an hour of waking up. I felt great for the rest of the day. I was a little sore on Saturday, but I’ve been getting better since. I think the worst thing is the gas pain. They fill your belly with gas to expand it for the operation. They don’t always manage to press it all out and it hurts like a bitch later.


I have to be on liquids until a week from this Friday. That’s okay though, I can hardly eat anything. It’s like I’ll be starving one minute and eating my tiny cup of soup, then it will hit like a brick wall that I’m full. It’s a very sudden sensation. It’s weird.

I’ve lost about 15 lbs so far since a week before surgery!!!!
