Had my surgery yesterday. Thans for all of your prayers. I'm really taken aback with the shoulder pain, it also travels into my neck. Heating pad worked wonders. Didn't get much sleep. I'm a side sleeper, just propped myself up with a lot of pillows. I'm also very thirsty, ben siping water and had a little broth. Good luck everyone!

My hubby, mom and my assistant at work. Nervous about telling anyone else, until I've actually had it done. Can anyone tell me how to post my "ticker" on my profile?

OMG I feel normal!!!!! I went cold turkey. I did it. Thank you all for your posts. I think I'm getting hooked on Iced tea now. I know the caffeine is bad, but why??? Just in general or because of the band? Having my surgery on April 22nd. Nervous.
