I stayed overnight in the hospital per my Doc's instructions. Barium swallow the next day before discharge. It was cool to see my band and stomach on the screen. No real pain that I needed to medicate. Tender, bloated, trouble getting up and down but that is really all. Day 3 I took the Lortab elixir and felt on top of the world. Now it's just a cramp in my left side and some referred shoulder pain.
My post op instructions are liquid diet for two weeks and then pureed for two weeks. No real food until May 25th. My first f/u appt. is Tuesday and hopefully I'll find out about the first fill, etc.
18lbs down so far (8 of that the week before surgery) Let's hope it stays off in bandster hell.
