I had my surgery yesterday..7am, I was in surgery for 2 hrs then recovery for about 2 hrs..
They took me up to my room. I was in the new "women's" wing of the hospital..It is so nice there. Everyone was nice & supportive.
I had my leak test this morning & all went well. I checked out of the hospital at 2:00
I am home now..sipping on my liquids...

Thanks for all  of your support here too!!

Congratulations, Deb!  Didn't see your post earlier.  Dr Harris is doing the surgery on Thursdays now?  Is he also doing Tuesdays?  I know business has been booming...

Please be sure to walk frequently for about 10 mins every hour and keep a source of water or liquid protein with you at all time so you can sip every 10 mins or so.  This will help dissipate gas, prevent blood clots, and will keep you feeling much more comfortable in your recovery.

All the best to you!

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!
