Hi my name is Marie and I live in AZ. Have had trouble with my weight most of my life. i have about 90 lbs to lose. Today was the hardest part in reference to pain. Probably yesterday I was still a little out of it and the incision didnt hurt like they do today. Dr prescribed liquid pain med(hydrocodone) and dissolvable nausea meds that just melt in your mouth. I have been sleeping in my recliner because getting out of a flat bed is much too hard just now. I also had an hiatal hernia that was repaired at the same time. My throat is pretty sore. dr told me they would put in a breathing tube, but also a second tube to get the band through. My voice is still raspy and just been gargling with salt Water to relieve it.
Best of luck to all who have already been banded and those who are considering it.
