Angela,

I am going to say this as best I can keep the faith.  This new process was not the same as the band, and while I am seeing the success it took me a few weeks to really be at ease with the difference.  The pain to me was almost none with my band and recovery was much quicker I went back to work after about 3 and a half weeks.  I am not working this session, but I could not imagine standing for 3 hours teaching even on my best days now and trust me I feel better every day, but I am still not 100%. 

I am struggling with hydration because you truly can't drink as much with the bypass as you could with the band.  This is different and I feel the difference, I am slowly starting to feel a little hungry but not like I did with the band, I was hungy about 3 weeks after surgery.  Wednesday will be my 5 weeks since surgery.

The progress is slow and steady but I am on the losing side so I am excited please keep me posted and best of luck with Dr. Valin.
