I am doing well. Twinserly, I too have the rolling hicaburp pain in the chest going on. That is the most misserable part right know. I had my surgery @ 1:15 and was given the option of staying over in the Hospital. Since we had a 4.5 hour drive at night in Elk country we decided to stay at the hospital. Every one was so nice to us. Oncwe I got home I took it easy, walking every hour and using the sperometer regular. Today I feel real good, still a few pains here and tehre and do not want to exert to much energy as I can still tell some one was in my tummy. The best thing was the I was able to go back to protien shakes yesterday. That really helped with the healing and getting to know my band. I must have some restriction as I can feel an uncomfortable pain when i have to much. Thanks for asking how I am, it means alot, Wayno
Editted to add: My tongue is numb! It has been since surgery, just the right side, but still numb! An unfortunate side effect?
