March 10th

So far so good on day one. Lots of sleep. Lots of thirst. Little pain and discomfort other than a very swollen uvula.

Getting ready to go to sleep on my first night in a hospital since I was born.

Hope everyone else has done well so far.

Good morning Bill!!
 I'm so glad to hear everything is going well with you!!
 I had a little bit of a rough night..woke up with some gas pains and shoulder pains..took me about 2 hrs to remember I had pain meds for that and I made "pillow nest" so I could sleep on my stomach...lol...So far this morning I'm feeling alot better and not so groggy, just tired!
 I hope everything is going good for you! Do you know when they'll release you?

                                                                            Have a great day!

I came home yesterday afternoon.

Feeling pretty good although my sore throat makes it nearly impossible to swallow the purees I should be eating at this point. I'm sticking with protein drinks for a few more days.

It's funny that I am taking my percocet more for a sore throat that the major rerouting of my stomach and intestines.

Thats funny about the percocet..I'm taking my pain med more so for the gas I'm experiencing than the band placement and the incisions..Hope all stays ok with you!!
