 Awww, thank you guys so much!!!  I am home now and doing fine.  I went to the ER last night because I was running a bit of a fever;  of course by the time I got there, it was gone.  Still they checked everything out and said I was doing well, which made me feel a lot better.  Dr. E is wonderful but leaving the hospital was a bit confusing with all his different doctors/fellows all telling me different things!  Anyways better safe than sorry although we wound up being there sooooooooooo late and so tired!  

I am sipping and walking and on day two of my post-op liquid diet.  Can't wait to be on full liquids!  Right now this feels about like when my band was reallyreally tight, so I'm kind of used to the feeling, if that makes sense!  My tummy is urgly gurgly and working JUST FINE!  

I have an OnQ pump that I am hopefully getting rid of soon;  it is so annoying!  

Thank you all for the support, it has meant so much to me!

If life with your band sucks, you are not alone and it's not your fault.  Check out the failed lap band group!

 I think it was technically ok.  He said it was placed higher than he usually sees them.  But it looks GROSS.  It had all kinds of weird brown/black tissue growing around it.

Glad your doing well, and glad to know that it kinda feels like right after the band post op did as far as sipping and feeling full.  I'm right behind you.......T minus 10 days!
