I saw a thread a while back where all the August Bandsters had touched base with each other. Well where are my September friends?

I am 5 days banded. September 12 was the big day! Things are pretty ok. I am off pain meds completely, but started having some symptoms of esophagus irritation. I called my surgeon and he is calling in one of those reflux meds. I choked down some Maalox. (that stuff is Grade A GROSS) and it’s a bit better. I still feel like I have a lump in my throat that won’t go away and a mild pain behind my breastbone. Other than that, everything is slowly feeling more normal. I think I even slept on my side last night. Not the port side of course. Sleeping on my back is so hard for me. I have always slept on my stomach. The total liquid diet is a challenge to say the least. But I am trying to be disciplined.

I am down 15lbs since one week prior to surgery. Yeah!

So anybody else very recently banded? How is it going?
