Getting REALIZED on Tuesday!
Hi Amanda,
Looks like you and I got banded on the same day! How are you doing? I have found that wearing an elastic back-support belt has dramatically improved my comfort. That little extra bit of compression on the belly makes a world of difference.
A word of advice... don't do what I did! I went to see the new Adam Sandler movie 3 days after surgery and laughed so hard that I thought I tore myself open! Turns out I didn't, but it really REALLY hurt!
Even with no fill yet, I see a dramatic difference in my appetite & how much I can eat. 1/2 cup of applesauce or pudding makes me feel like I just ate Thanksgiving dinner.
Good luck to you! I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences!
