Ok kids, im home. Surgery went well with some minor difficulty. Seems men carry their fat differently than women. Every time he tried to band me the fat slipped back into place. With a BMI of nearly 60 its no wonder. So it took him a bit longer than normal and they kept me overnight for observation. My lovely wife spent the night in my room too. Shes a keeper..LOL Thanks for all those well wishes. I sure did appreciate them.

Jeff, Glad to see you are home and things went well. God Bless your lovely wife. A good support person is the best. I plan to spend the night in the hospital too. Just in case. How are you feeling now that it's day 3? I only have 2 days left and I can't wait. I know what you mean about the fat, that is why my doctor has me on a 10 day liquid diet to help shrink the fatty liver to make it easier to slip the band on. I've had a couple of rough times but have lost 15#'s already!!! Well hope to chat more later Debi

Hey Debi, I was pretty nauseus on day two but when I woke up this AM I felt so much better. I wasnt able to eat any jello or ice pops without getting sick and I only drank minimal amounts of water, what I was able to tolerate. But today, day 3, I am beginning phase 2, 3 meals a day of slimfast and all the ice pops I can handle. I only had to be on liquids 2 days prior but I did it 3 days and my liver was fine. I just had to limit my carbs to no more than 30. Good luck and best wishes. Jeff
