Back home - post op for 2 days. Lap-Band isn't so bad!

Hi to all, Today is Sunday and I am post-op. Friday was the Lap-Band operation and the next day I was home. It really was not as bad as I expected. The pain wasn't so bad and isn't bad now either. I got out of bed a little after I was brought to my room and walked around as much as I could. My room mate had the By-Pass and was in great pain and she couldn't get up. I felt really bad for her especially since it seemed that I was having a much easier time and I was going home so fast. I am really bloated from all the infusions they pumped into me. I came home heavier than I left...but I was running to the bathroom all night so now I am 1.5 less. I have been on liquids since yesterday and today I will try puree stuff. I'm not hungry and the little liquid and jello I had was enough. My little 6 year old is behaving admirably. She doesn't know I was in the hospital but she knows I have "bo-bos" and she has to be careful. She is very concerned and doesn't want to leave me for a minute. So the Lap-band isn't that bad...from reading the posts I was expecting so much worse. I should have looked more closely to see which posts were for Lap-band and which for By-Pass. Thank you all for being here and for the concern and help. Effi
