1st Day Post Op

I just got banded yesterday (12/14/11) Found out I had TWO hernia's. I knew about

one but not the other. I'm so glad they fixed both of them! My doctor (Dr. Watkins) was

wonderful! He is so funny and I heard he sings country music during his surgeries. He told

me that he really loves his job and you can just tell. I'm so happy w/ him and the staff at

West Chesters "University Point hospital" - I'm feeling a lot of pain in my left shoulder and

just a little where the cuts where made. Not sure what my weight is since I don't have a working

scale but when I was weighed in last, I was down another 3 pounds so that from 17 pounds lost

total! God is good!!

    Congratulations. I am one day post op too. I had a hernia I didn't know about either. I too have a little shoulder pain and pain in a couple of places. Taking the pain medicine. I took a walk today too. Just so excited to have this band!

    I am going to get out of the house today. Hopefully will be okay.

    Thanks everyone for your comments. This is so exciting. I actually heard my stomach growl today (but I didn't feel hungry at all) The pain meds have me to "whoozy" to leave the house.. but tomorrow I'll have no choice as I have a client to meet in the afternoon. Still feeling the shoulder pain and the cut where I think he put the port. My chest feels a little tight. Not sure why when I'm under 300 liquid calories. Definately glad I went ahead w/ this surgery!
