    :notagree had my surgery yesterday, other than some tiredness, I fell good. I don't remember any of the surgery. All I remember is being wheeled into the OR room, moving onto the table, and that was it. At 9:15 I woke up and asked the nurse where i was, and she was moving me to the same day holding area. We pickedu p my wife and away we went.
     
    They gave me some ice in same day surgery and I had no problems. Breathing was good, no swelling, not much pain. SHe gave me some lortab because I had a little bit of pain around my port, but I think it is my muscle.
     
    I had a good night last night, stayed in the recliner for a bit, then I sat up in bed for about 4 hours, then the gas started. So I went back to the couch and let it rip!! man that felt good. :heh:
     
    Today I am going to walk around and monitor my pain...so far so good. :clap2:

  2. 6 days into liquids

    · chefschoon · 04/28/07 11:53 AM

    I am scheduled for the lap band on 5/2. I am 6 days into my clear liquids. I have found that if you have your protien in the morning, you end up having a good day. The first 2 days were hard. Now I am doing ok. I found that this product, called Boost Glucose Control that is the best.
     
    Getting nervous at this point, but overall I am excited to have it done. I just can take anymore broth!!!
