Hi all-
Just joined this site to see if I could get some help/support with my band experience. My surgery was 12/10 and since I woke up from surgery, I have been miserable. Yesterday (after crying from exhausion and discomfort), I finally went back into the docs office where they pulled out all of the fluid in my band (about 3.5 cc). I felt a lot better right away, but not 100%. I still have pain and discomfort, a lot of gurgling and my stomach hurts like the same pain you feel when you don't eat for a while. I have been following the liquid diet except today I had about 1/2 cup mashed potatoes because I just wanted the hunger pangs to go away. Is this normal for the first week? I have been trying to push out the thoughts of regret for getting the band, but they keep creeping back in. Any words or wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
