OK...so I am newer to the forum, and still wading around to learn as much as possible. You asked for a guy's perspective - looks great! I know this thread is a little older, so have you had any more surgery? It is truly inspiring to see all of the stories and I particularly like seeing before and after pics. I have lost 112 pounds now, and I am very likely going to be contemplating plastic surgery.

Congratulations! I had my family with me until they were kicked out. My surgery was at 12:30; in recovery about 3PM. My wife stayed in my room with me until about 8pm. I had a couple visitors, but for the most part the dilaudid pretty well kept me loopy and not very social. :eek: I was home the next day about 3:30. I would say having family around at home was more important than in the hospital, but it was nice to have some visitors. Good luck! I was pretty good about following the pre-op instructions, and I highly encourage the same. I think it has made my recovery that much easier.

My first post here. I was banded on 12/14/07 by Dr. Haughn in Evansville, IN. The surgery went great (about 2.5 hours), and my recovery has gone smoothly. I have my first weigh-in on Jan. 4, so need less to say, I am excited about next Friday! Looking forward to learning more on this site!
