:smile:I was banded yesterday 2/19. Got to the hospital at 8am and went in at 1030. Came out and was given 3 shots of morphine, When I got back to my room they hooked me up with Demerol. I was in and out of consciousness all night and into the morning. My wife stayed with me all night. She had the surgery almost 3 years ago and is down 110lbs. I was still pretty sore this morning so they gave me liquid vicodin which is very nice, I have 2 weeks off to recover and am looking forward to healing up and losing the weight which had me up to 345, diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea and high blood pressure.

Congratulations, Sandman, and best wishes. You are blessed to have an experienced mate who will be supportive.

Congrats Sandman! Welcome to the losers' bench!

Sandman - hurray for you. Will be wonderful to have your wife support and mentor. Both of you will be ready for a second honeymoon.
