I had my realize band yesterday.  I had to stay in the hospital for a couple of hours just for them to watch me and make sure I could do the things they want me to do at home (tolerate broth/jello/water, walk and pee) which I did with wonders.  I cant believe how quickly I got from the OR to the Recovery room and up to a bed to be watched.  I was put on a special floor for bariatric patients and it was really great.  The nurse I had was extremely knowledgeable and was supportive of me the whole time! I have been sipping on water and walking like crazy.  I was afraid to take the pain meds because I get extremely nauseous from most pain meds and I don't want to make myself feel worse.  I tool half of the prescribed dose just to test it out and I did ok.  I am way excited to be done with the surgery.  :) Hopefully over the next couple of days I will start to feel much better.  Thanks for all your support :)

 Congrats to you!  That's fantastic that everything is going so well aside from the queasy feelings, that will improve I'm sure.  I wish I could have gone home after a few hours, lucky!   

Get some rest!
