Banded 9/29

You are more than welcome.  Ask all the questions now.  It will make you feel more comfortable when going in. 

I also had my surgery on Sept. 29th.  I spent one night in the hospital.  My daughter stayed with me and is an RN.  I did a lot of walking that night because of the gas. Now, I'm doing very well.  Today is the first day that I have hardly had any pain due to gas, and it has been only in my right shoulder.

I am walking and drinking a lot of liquids.   Everyone tells me it just keeps getting better and better!

Regarding your exercise... I was banded on 9/16 and I started going to my gym the following week. I only did 10 mins. on an elliptical machine and then 20 mins on a bike. I did the elliptical at a very steady, easy pace. The bike was not hard at all and I was able to ride without any discomfort. I think the bike would be a great idea for you! Especially in front of a TV...thats the only way I can get through my workouts!

I was banded on 09/25 and I know exactly how u feel. I thought that at one point that I made the right decision but realizing that I did I just bared with it and prayed about it and I made it. But congrad on your surgery and make your recovery speedy I am here if you want to ask me any question.

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for keeping me posted on your progress.  12 days post op and I'm feeling great :)  I did something stupid.... I was suppose to be on a pureed diet this week, and I ate a piece of chicken.  I paid for it too.  I was miserable for two days.  Why did I do that???  I didn't plan properly, was away from home and didn't have anything with me to eat.  Lesson learned!!
