2-wk Update

Well, it's been two weeks since I was banded. I have lost 6 lbs since then, for a total of 26 lbs. Some have lost more, some have lost less. I feel the reason I have lost the amount I have is I drank heavy on the liquids before surgery and was able to ditch a lot of water weight in the weeks prior to surgery--oh, and then there's the water pills my doc has me on for the HBP that helped as well! I feel great, only pain is the tender port site. Doing EVERYTHING I did pre-op, including bowling in my leagues again. It doesn't hurt, so I'm doin' it! I can't say one bad thing about my experience up to this point. I look forward to an uneventful banded life--hopefully! I plan on going for my first fill in one month. Jill in Az
