I'm home and I feel Great!

had my LapBand surgery yesterday at 9:35am. It went wonderful. I was in recovery at about 10:30. I didn't need pain medication until about 1pm. They moved me from recovery at about 1:30 (waiting for a bed). When I got to my room, I walked the halls for about 10 minutes and that felt awesome. It felt so good to burp and toot to get the gas out. So many people talked about the gas and how bad it hurt, but I did not have much pain, it was more like a dull ache. I only had pain meds two other times. I walked about every hour for about 10 minutes. I slept through the night except when they cam in to check vitals. I was released today at about 9am. I am home now and feeling great. I have not had to take any pain meds. The gas is going away the more I walk. So my only advice is WALK! And sip your water or fluids! I had jello in the hospital (diet sugar free) it was great and i had it about every 4 hours, granted i could only take about 3 spoon fulls. I am so ready for this journey! Best of luck to those who are getting the WLS in the future! Best decsion I ever made!!

Congratulation on doing so well with your surgery.
Keep your eye on the prize and you will make it.
