I posted a new thread under post-op for fellow sept bandsters. Had my surgery yesterday. I'm uncomfortable but doing ok.

Posting for my fellow sept bandsters. Had my surgery yesterday. I was surprisingly calm going in. Last thing I remember before waking up in recovery is looking at the lights wondering if the anesthesia is gonna kick in. Lol. I was in recovery for over three hours. I just couldn't wake up. I threw up twice from the ice chips and Water. I think the anesthesia and pain killers make me nauseous. The pain is bearable today but I didn't sleep well last night. I couldn't get comfortable and I kept having to go pee. The abdominal binder is very helpful, so wear it! I was able to get the acid blocker pill and some Advil down. That was a relief I was afraid they were going to get stuck. I'm not feeling hungry at all. I've been drinking mostly water but have had some Vitamin water zero and a little Protein water. I'm thinking some warm broth might be nice soon.

I am scheduled to get banded Sept 4th. I have my pre-op appointments on tuesday August 28th. So far I have no idea if I will have a pre-op diet. I'm hoping not I'm excited, but also nervous. This is going to be a HUGE change. It will be nice to have support from those going through the same thing.
