Banded at 1pm today. Everything has gone very smooth! All of the hospital staff have been super great. Feeling ok, just super tired and groggy. At this point I am only allowed ice chips but eating or drinking is not even a concern for me right now. My ONLY complaint is that I have a super obnoxious (non-banded) 'roommate' who has called a good 15-20 people since about 6pm, she's loud and rude to the very sweet nurse we have. hehe. She even gave one person a very detailed over-the-phone recipe for her own spaghetti sauce. Omg!! Not much pain from surgery, but this lady is bound to send me into Migraine mode. good luck to all, I know I am very excited to have finally started this part of my journey!!

Kari,
My surgeon recommends two weeks off for those who have jobs just sitting and computer and 6 weeks for those who stand or have to lift. Does your work have medical leave or disibility options?
