I thought the banding was much worse than I had anticipated for the first three days, but I am feeling much better today. I also had hernia repair and assume that adds additional stress on the body. I am really looking forward to being lighter on my knees. The loose skin is a slight concern. Would like to hear from others who recent bandees. Sally
Ok Ok i have another consultation on Thursday 3rd July! Im very excited about it but very anxious...this consultation is with the National Health Service and if they approve me then i will not have to go private and self pay for my surgery. My only problem is that from talking to other people who have had it done, because of my high BMI they will try and push me down the gastric bypass route, which i dont want to go down. I really dont want any part of my body, especially if there is nothing wrong...
I'm home. I think I am doing great, although energy level is waaaay down. I am able to sleep lying down, but alternate between bed and recliner (pillows behind back feel great!)
My surgery went well and they took me in 5 mins after I got there, and I got there 25 mins early. They prepped me right away and then there was some waiting before the tw Dr. Teng's came in--one brother is the surgeon and the other is the anesthesiologist. I don't remember the anesthesia at all! The last thing...
