The healing process has began. My surgery went as usual, I had to be at Rush Northhshore Evanston at 9:30 am for a 11:30 am surgery. I arrived right on time, with my wife and 2yr old son. Thats when things started to move so fast, I began to get nervous. I was immediately taken back to a temporary room to get prepared, Thats when it all got very busy, my 2 yr old all over the place, my anethesiologist, my nurse, and someone trying to get an IV started. I had just enough time to kiss my wife and baby before I was wisked away to the or, something was shot into my IV and lights out. I woke up in recovery not in much pain at all. I didnt really feel it until after I was discharged and sent home the next day to rest. I guess it was those good pain meds I was getting in the hospital. For those having surgery we have a tendency to do a lot of research before surgery, and we expect it to go according to what someone else has posted, but we are each different and it dosent always comare to what someone else might have went through. So for all my future bandsters good luck and Gods speed with your recovery. :biggrin::thumbup:

Congrats! Its very wise to do your research as to whats best for you. This time last year I was approved for RNY, and went all the way to the holding area prepare to have surgery and had a reality check that it wasnt right for me. I'm now scheduled for lapband and very pleased with the decision, although I'm a big chicken :ohmy: when it comes to medical procedures, I'm comfortable enough with my decision to go through with it. :thumbup:
