Well yesterday was the big day. I got my band. I was almost ready the day before to back out and not have it done...but pushed through. Once I got to the hospital I was a bit nervous, but the staff were awesome. I was banded in Cancun, and must say it has been a great experience. My surgery was at 6:30pm and was awake in recovery by 7:40 and wanted to get up and walk around. Went to my room, watched some tv and went to sleep. Woke up this morning at 7am and took a shower and did some walking around. I am now back at the hotel enjoying the nice warm weather before I catch my flight back to Canada tomorrow!! All is all so far a good experience!!
