I've had it done!

I was banded yesterday by Dr. Bagnato in Albany, Georgia.  Slept most of the day and I going at it gently.  I thought I might return to work tomorrow, but I think I will just take the rest of the week and recoop.  

Congrats to you.  Take it easy!  You are in for the ride of your life now :)

congratulations Therese! I think you are smart to take the rest of week off..better to rest now than to have to take more off because you went back to soon. sip sip sip and walk walk walk.

Definitely take it easy. Follow your doctor's orders and walk a little more each day.  One of the benefits for us in taking our time to recover was it also helped us get it a good eating/drinking pattern. Once you start feeling back to your old self it can be hard to resist eating foods you know you shouldn't, but "can". I can't say I've been perfect, but I'm very careful about what I eat and really want this to be the way I live forever. I've been so thrilled with how things are going so far. I wish you the best!  Congrats!
