It is 7:05 am on the day of my surgery. This will be my last official post in the PRE-op thread. I am both excited and nervous. I woke up at 3 am and could not fall back to sleep. I am hoping that all goes well today and that the pain and recovery time are minimal. Wish me luck. I will update tomorrow.

Good luck and I hope you have a speedy recovery!!

Good luck! I hope you have a quick and pain-free recovery!!

My surgery is tomorrow-- so I'll see you on the Post-op side! :smile2:

Good luck and hope all goes well. :eek:

Well? How did it go? Is the pain not as bad as I am thinking?

boy oh boy i can't wait to post my first post op post. lol wow say that 5 times fast.

congrats to you both, and i wish you both a quick recovery.:eek:

Day one post op and the pain is minimal. I did underestimate the gas discomfort however. i am also havong a difficult time taking in enough liquid. It is difficult to swollow as i feels like a have a gas bubble in my stomach. I'm sure that this will subside. All i can say to everyone that has yet to under go surgery. Walk, walk, walk. i have probably done a mile already today. It does help.

Congrats on being banded! Sorry your gas pains are bad--mine lasted about 2-3 weeks, but each day got better. I'm sure you'll feel better tomorrow and hopefully better every day after. Take care and let us know how you're doing.

Day one post op and the pain is minimal.

Thanks!!!

That is comforting.
