State: TN |  Hi There! I am newly banded...
and so ready for this journey.
So far, everything has gone smoothly. I had some bad muscle spasms the first week but those have subsided the past few days (from where the port lies on the muscle).
I am on day 5 of 14 of full fluids and already bored. BUT it is better than the week of clear fluids I was on.
Still learning to tell if I am REALLY hungry or just wanting to eat.
Anyway, looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Welcome, Emmy. You are off to a great start. I have an email friend who is Dr. Ponce's patient. She has done great with him.

Thank you so much.
Hmmm.... what else to tell you.
I am a mom of two boys - 11 and almost 4. Happily married to a very supportive man. He is overweight as well and we are hoping (I am) that as a result of my cooking smaller meals that he will benefit from my surgery as well. A tip my nurse gave me (who is also banded) is when you go out to eat to share a meal with your spouse in the case where they need to lose too. It saves money and makes sense since the portions at restaurants are HUGE!
Anyway... I appreciate you all making me feel at home. Thank you in advance for your support, ideas and well... taking the journey with me.
