I had my surgery on June 29. I'm doing great! I checked in to the Surgery Center at 9am and was home by 5pm. I had no pain from incisions, but boy, did the gas pressure from the general anesthetic bother me! I have had traveling pressure pain in my shoulders and back for about 4 days. It seems to have gone now, and now my biggest problem is that I think I have the energy to do stuff, and I get overtired. I haven't been really hungry, but my brain thinks I should be eating or snacking. I have been mentally craving popcorn and stuff like that...but since I'm not REALLY hungry...I just drink my water. My surgeon has me on a 4 week recovery with only liquids, soft foods, and soups until the stomach is adjusted to the band. I can't wait to get back to real food again--not because I'm hungry...but because I'm bored! I am craving ham and crackers. hmmmm time for a protein shake, I guess Reenei
