Hott Date

Hey Bandsters... 



              i havent posted in a while, but im back with so good news... i finally have a date!! August 18th is my big day... I cant believe 6 months have gone by SO quickly... my  moment is here
                                                                          


               Couple of questions tho... I have no clue how long to be out of work. Ill be home for 4 days and thought that would be enough... Am i being overzealous??

                  If anyone has some advice i am ALL ears... (like corn) lololol!!! Thanks a million

WOW!  Congrats, thats just next week.  So now you begin your journey.  Enjoy liquids!

Congrats and good luck. I go Monday the 15th

Welcome to both of you!! It is an amazing journey.

I have surgery on the 19th and I, too, am very excited.  My surgeon recommended I be off work for a week.  I spoke to someone else that had the surgery and she went back to work 4 days later and was very sore and uncomfortable....she encouraged me to take the week off.  Good luck and keep us posted!!!

 YAY!  Ok...I think everyone is different.  I am a teacher and my surgery date was the 13th of August... I was worn out and uncomfortable...  I had about 2 weeks before school started and I needed them.  Just make sure you rest enough while you are home, and make sure you get all of your protien...that helps so much.  Good luck and keep us posted!

Congrats!
I took 10 days because I could, but a week would have been o.k.  It depends what kind of work you do...if you sit at a desk you would probably be o.k. after 4 days, but if you can, I'd take a week.  It is a major surgery afterall.  It's not so much that pain, but the tiredness that caught me by surprise.

Thanks for the input... I actually just came back from a week vacation in Mexico... Obviously i needed a tan before surgery lol.

So I dont want to take TOO much time off, because I have so much coming up... Hoping to look a litl different for a friends wedding early novemeber

However, im a receptionist and my job involves mostly sitting which ive grown to hate... so I tend to wander off whenever I get the chance...

I heard walking a lot afterwards help w/ the gas and such... Is this true??


and to those getting banded in August... CONGRATS!!!!! 

Congrats on your surgery date! I know you're excited!!
