4 days post op

Hey cyber world and banding friends. I'm now 4 days post op and can't wait to completely heal. I have gas that won't quit, but I have been making progress with that slowly. I still have an aggrevating gurgling in my stomach, but I think that will pass when I start making more bowel movements. I know....ewwwww sounds gross, but it's reality. Today I took my bandage off as my doctor had directed. I think the incision looks fantastic. I was really worried about scarring, but Dr. Kazcmarski and Dr. Gabriel did a great job. I'm back to work on Monday so wish me luck. I hope the back pain goes away too. Sleeping on my back is killing me.

Yes I am on full liquids. I really can't wait for soft food part of the diet. I have so many things in mind to eat. HA HA HA. My back still hurts, but I hope after the second week it will get better. I see my doctor on Wednesday, so I'll bring up the back pain issue and see what he says. Maybe it will shed some light on it for both of us.
