Surgery went well and fast. The pain isn't bad at all. Mostly just gas pain and that's it. The nurse they assigned to me just had this done in June so she was able to put me at ease before I went to the OR. She used the same doc as me so she told me all about her experience and told me that the pain would be comparable to the pain I had from my gallbladder surgery-which wasn't bad/much.

I'm home and resting up now. I'm so excited to have my band in:)

can anyone tell me how you get that weight ticker.. im new to this so i need help...

Congratulations! That's terrific that you were able to go home so quickly! I am hoping the same for myself! Glad to hear you did so well....onward!

So glad to hear that all went well!!! HUGS!

Congrats to everyone! I was banded on Tuesday and honestly, I'm still struggling with my pain, but hopefully that goes away soon

Jamelyn,

You will have to change your signature now...you ARE banded...not getting banded! Congrats!

can anyone tell me how you get that weight ticker.. im new to this so i need help...

Just click on any of the weight tickers and it will send you to their web site from there design your ticker copy and paste the code to your signature that you can find in the upper left hand corner of your screen under "user CP" Good luck..

CONGRATULATIONS! and that goes to all new banders!

They sent you home that quickly? Were you expecting to stay overnight? My surgeon told me I will be staying 1 night to be monitored.

Are you on pain medication right now? Are the incisions scary looking? (i don't care about having scars but I am afraid of taking care of incisions- yikes).

Please let us know how its going!

Welcome to the world of the banded!!! Congrats to you! I know this has been the best decision I have ever made and I've never been happier.

CONGRATULATIONS! and that goes to all new banders!

No I wasn't expecting to stay. They said it would be an outpatient thing I was just surprised that I got out so quickly.

The only thing I've taken for pain is just liquid Motrin. My incisions well the ones I can see don't look bad. I have 5 total but 2 of them were still bleeding a little so they have pressure dressings on them. I get to take them off tomorrow and take a shower.

I got there at 6. They took me to the OR at 7 am and by 10am I was asking to go home:)

Wow...that's impressive! You must be one tough cookie! We're excited to see how the rest of your journey goes! :-)

5 incisions? Oh my, I thought it was only 4. But I am so happy (and jealous) for all of you. Speedy recovery to you all!

I knew I was staying over the night, so I had my bag packed and ready to go. I have liquid perocet, but I only took it the 1st day home. My incisions aren't bad, my son is scared a little of them (he's 3) but other than that. I'm just waiting for this gas to go away and I'll feel much better!
