I just got my phone call from the Hospital my Arrival time there is 7 AM. So my mom has to come over to get my girls up for school. 11 1/2 hours until I arrive there. I bought some post op stuff today. Plain Greek yogurt' date=' sugar free Jello and pudding, broth, Skim Milk, Tomato Soup and Cream of chicken Soup. Bring it on. I will be up until at least 11 PM tonight to watch my American Horror Story. Wow I can't believe the day is almost here < 24 hrs.[/quote']

Add gas-x strips to your list. They were a saving grace for me! Good luck tomorrow.

My wife and I are finalizing an adoption of a little girl on the 18th and just wondering if there are any other members that have adopted' date=' are adopting or want to adopt.[/quote']

My husband and I are in the process of adopting a little girl from Ukraine. If you would like to follow our blog you can find it at www.thenewsadoptionjourney.wordpress.com

Did any of post ops you have a nerve block when you left the hospital?

I did and never needed to use any pain meds.

Things are still going great! I'm feeling amazing and full of energy.

My surgery was yesterday. I won't lie...the first day was rough. to no incision pain but my stomach area below my ribs hurts quite a bit. Stayed overnight in the hospital. Have been trying to drink plenty but feel nauseated when I drink too fast. Only vomited once but got phenergan which helped. Woke up this morning feeling TONS better. Still some nagging pain around my upper belly and diaphragm but the nausea is much better and I feel more human. walking the halls and ready to go home!

I hope you get to feeling better quickly!

I'm two days out from surgery and I'm feeling great! I've also had little to no gas pain but I've stayed on top of the gas-x strips. I was surprised to only have 3 incisions and I'm not having problems laying on my side. Good luck everyone and I hope you all have great experiences.

Thank you.

Was just banded this morning and I'm feeling really good. I haven't needed and pains meds at all and have been doing a lot of walking. I feel the gas rumbling in my belly but I've been using gas-x strips. I am a little sore at the incision site but I'm surprised at how good I feel.

I will I would have found this thread sooner. I was just banded this morning and now I'm at home resting. I wish you all the best of luck and much success!

Thank you. I'm very blessed to have an extremely supportive family, especially my husband. This forum has helped a lot as well.

Well tomorrow is the BIG day! I will finally be banded and I'm a little nervous but super excited. I lost a good friend because of it but it's ok because God has placed many more who support me 100%.

She was upset and afraid when she thought I was having gastric bypass but was relieved when I told her I was doing the lap band. She seemed supportive after that but recently she has pulled away a great deal. I've asked her if she wanted to work out together when our kids are in school and she said no she would rather do it first thing in the am. However she and another girl in our neighborhood have been working out together when the kids are at school.

I'm less than a week away from my surgery and I'm excited! I do have to say that I'm disappointed the my "best friend" is not supportive at all.
