Hi everyone,

 

i had had band to bypass revision surgery yesterday morning and just arrived home.  I am in a lot of pain and have one drain, ugh. Feeling bad but knowing I just need to get through the first few days and weeks in order to get better.

 

At least it's over!!

Glad you are home and into the recovery stage. Hope it continues to go well, every day being better than the last as you recover.

Welcome home. Always feel better at home than not in my own bed etc.

I wish you the best of luck!!  I will be doing the same thing in May or June 2016.  Lap-bands are not what they are hyped up to be.  My thoughts are with you.  Yes, you will get through this.  You have plenty of support here.  :-)

Rest and recover. You'll feel a lot better once your drain is out. I had the same exact revision on 11/2 and am returning to work Monday after a 6 week medical leave. I feel good though still like to nap! Sip sip sip walk walk walk.

Thanks everyone! I'm hanging in there, still hating the drain, which comes out Monday. Drinking a lot of water and protein shakes. The pain is better today - have only taken Tylonol since yesterday. 

Ill admit, I'm looking forward to chewing something - can't wait! But, the best thing I've tasted this week has been Miso soup my husband picked up from our fav sushi place! 

I appreciate everyone's support and hope you're all having a great weekend!
