Hi all. My surgery was yesterday and went very well. I'm feeling much better than I thought I would. The worst part was the gas pain. It comes and goes now. I haven't even had to take much pain medicine. So glad to be here!

Congratulations Debbie!

Take it easy even if you feel great. It may hit you in a couple of days and you'll be more tired than you are now.

I didn't have much pain and only too the meds at night for 3 nights and then it was tylenol all the way.

I hope your entire recovery was as easy as mine.

Best~

Congrats!!! I recommend any type of stool softener and lots of water. The anesthesia can do a number on your intestines. I was up and walking around right after surgery and kept on truckin-and knew where my limits were. Those pain pills make you feel like superwoman sometimes-haha!!! I put a timer on my phone to remind me to drink every 15 min-major help!!!!

Good luck on your recovery and try not to over do it!!! Congrats!!! Welcome to being banded!!!

Debbie,
We are glad you have joined us on the bandwagon! I had a pretty easy recovery too. My port site took the longest to heal. It still gets pretty sore when I work out too much. Take it easy and good luck!
