<p>I was banded 8/24. Being that it is now past midnight I guess that is technically yesterday! Things went GREAT! Dr. Krishnaraj was just the greatest, and I knew he would be! The whole nursing staff was awesome too! My surgery took 1 hour, then about 40 minutes for me to come back to the real world. Then about 10 minutes later I was up and moving about. I have very minimal pain and most of it is gas pain in my back and shoulder area and a tiny bit at the port site. Nausea wasnt a problem for me, and I have to say this is a rarity! I ALWAYS get sick and this time I was just fine! I took Emend (nausea med) the night before the surgery at 8 like the doctor asked. Wow was it pricey! $45 with insurance! They they gave me a shot or two of Zofran during the day and I was fine the whole time! I'm real thankful because I getting sick after surgery but I am know to do it almost every time! Well I am off to get some rest! I hope everyone with surgery in the future feels as great as I feel now! Happy banding everyone! Good night! :notagree

Tomorrow is my day too! Good luck! See you on the "loosers" bench!

My husband and I are both Advanced & Nitrox certified divers. As soon as I am healed I will be going right back to diving! I am getting banded tomorrow. My doc said that I should have no problems at all with the band while diving. I then asked what it was over 100 feet and he still said no problems. I am hoping this is the truth. Diving is one of my many passions and I will not give it up!

I'm 27 and will be banded on 8/24/07 =) I cant wait!

Hey everyone! I am getting banded on 8/24/07. I ride a 2005 Yamaha R6.

Congrats!! Glad to hear everything went ok! I am hoping for the same myself!
