Hi! Thanks for all the supportive messages! I came through surgery ok on Monday. But had a lot of pain and a slight fever the first day or so. They kept me an extra day for which I was thankful. I'm home now and doing well. Not too much pain. I haven't been hungry at all! But I can definitely tell when I've had that one bite too much. luckily, since they are small bites the pressure/pain in the chest hasn't lasted that long. I'm so excited to be on the other side of the banded bridge! I'm looking forward to my new lifestyle and smaller sizes to come!!

Hi Eryn, I'd say don't be nervous but heck, I was nervous. Of course it was all for nothing (except I burned a few extra calories) because my surgery went just fine. For me the week before was harder than the week after just because I didn't know what to expect. Right after I had more soreness than pain but nothing that couldn't be managed. Remember to keep it positive. That means only positive people around you; the negative ones are just ill-informed. I hope all your health and weight-loss dreams come true,

Hi, Eryn. I'm a teacher too. Maybe your students won't recognise you when you come back. You'll be the incredible shrinking woman! Take one day at a time and be gentle with yourself. Godspeed. And keep those kids in line! Joanne
