Band is coming out soon, finally!

Mar 05, 2010

I am 2 weeks from having the band out....I've tempered my frustrations over the 6 week delay to having it done and am now looking forward to it...another step!

I attended Dr Sandor's support group and WOW. I forget how much I get out of support group until I am leaving...after some initial shyness, the group starting sharing a lot about post-surgical GI issues, like burping and farting! Dr Sandor, being his irreverent self, immediatley set to Googling and found an insert for one's underwear that has a charcol filter to help with the noxious odors!! How many groups of 30+ adults can sit around and talk about excess gas without TOO many laughs??? WLS surgical patients!!!!

My WLS journey pal Beth had her band-to-bypass last week and returned to work in less than a week...amazing. She is a constant source of strength and support for me. She's just the best. Thanks Beth!

Love to all!
Ellen
