Hi everyone. Just got back from the hospital today after being banded yesterday, 10/27. I was kept overnight because I have sleep apnea.

The surgery took longer than expected because they first went in through the belly button but there was too much fat there so they then made 2 cuts on the side. They also fixed a hernia (they said that was standard).

I'm in alot of pain right now but I am walking (slowly) and taking the pain meds. Hope to feel better soon. Small price to pay to be healthy and a new way of life, right?

Yay for you! Keep walking everyday! I found the more I walked, the quicker the gas pains went away. Have fun on the liquids, tonight is my last night! :thumbup:

Cream of Potato Soup never tasted soooo good!!!! I get to move on to soft foods tomorrow! Mashed taters, here I come!!!!!!

I was banded 10/22. I feel better most of the time, but sometimes I feel like I could go out and eat the world. Boredom? Probably. I go back for my post op tomorrow and can't wait. So ready to get the staples out!

:crying:October 22! I'm soooooo nervous! all the complications, problems. But on the other hand, I'm soooo ready. my Dr. hasn't told me of the pre op diet, but I was going to start one next week anyway. Does everybody have to have the endoscopy?
