Hahaha, cool! My 21st birthday was actually the 11th. So I spent me birthday dealing with the effects of a bottle of mag citrate hahaha, that stuff was wicked!! The gas sucks.. really bad... I sure hope so. I had to stay overnight Tuesday in the hospital and the nurses little station was right outside my room and they were so loud all night I got no sleep at all. It was refreshing to sleep in my own bed last night with peace and quiet. I took off my band aids today and I felt like a baby. the incisions are so itty bitty lol! I am glad to have someone to talk to who's surgery date was so close to mine!! Did you have staples, glue or stitches??

Thanks so much for the replies, I needed it so bad. I have been home crying all night. I am glad I am not the only one who was scared after, not just before.

Well, My name is Britt I am 20 and yesterday I had my band inserted, 10/12/10. My Dr. was great, I stayed overnight to prevent clotting. I just got home this after noon and I am having a bit of a panic issue. I have played hockey my whole life and I guess the way I am feeling now is making me worry I won't be able to live normal. Does anyone else play any pretty rough sports? my doctor said I would be able to, but I guess I am just being a baby lol. I am experiencing pretty painful gas in my stomach and pains from the gas in my chest. Trying to walk as much as possible but my meds make me just pass out! I was told it is normal to feel some regret but once you start to feel human again things get better, did anyone else feel this??? Thanks!! Britt
