I don't know about mints.... you'll have to ask your doc... (I was lucky and didn't have to do a pre-op diet).

Everyone is different, but I was pretty good immediately after surgery. I was given one Lortab (a pill, nonetheless), but no morphine or anything in my IV. They kept checking on me to see how my pain was, but I was fine. A little hard to move around at first, but frankly I think I have a high tolerance for pain. I was very sleepy due to the anaesthesia- and I really enjoyed my 2 hour nap when I got home.

But others have had a lot more incision pain than me. My biggest complaint the day of surgery was a sore throat from the intubation, and a sore shoulder from the CO2 they use during the surgery. Both of those are common.

I'm being banded on 4/1 and my 26th birthday is 4/3... Happy Bday to me!

My surgery is 3/23 and its my birthday!I hope it will be the best birthday present I will ever give myself!
