I'm banded baby!

It's 3:00 pm do you know where your band is? I do! Yay! All went well, I'm feeling pretty good. I'm not experiencing gas pain yet, but the port incision is pretty sore. Getting up from lying down is pretty painful, but I must say, not too bad of an experience. I'll post more later, but just wanted to let you guys know I'm alive and well and Pearl has been placed. Thank you so much for your support. You guys mean the world to me. And Camille and Jacquie I hope you are feeling well. Take care.
Love you guys!
Tess

Welcome to the wonderful world of being banded!! Take it easy, as you may feel like superman at first, but you may feel like a truck hit you in the next day or two. If you get bad gas pains in the chest and shoulders, I HIGHLY suggest Gas-X and a heating pad. It really helped to disappate the gas and relieve some of the pains. Good luck to you and keep us updated!!

Congratulations and "Welcome to the Sisterhood/Brotherhood of the Bandster's"!!!

I didn't have any gas pains either! And I never got any at all. I only had pain at the Port site like you.

So...here's hoping that this trend continues and you don't have any pains other than the Port site (which is only to be expected)!!

Bianca said...

Glad to hear it went well. Take care and rest up. So excited for you!
