Hi All,

I had my surgery today and as far as I can tell everything went very well. My surgeon went on and on about how great my insides looked! I told him he was the very first person to ever tell me that :-)

I am in a bit of pain right now because my pharmacy messed up and didn't fill my Rx, which means I was about 2 hours late getting my dose. I was so on top of the pain curve in the hospital, so I'm mad that this happened. Hopefully I'll be back on track tonight.

I'll keep you all posted.

I cannot believe you feel good enough to even think about getting on the computer. My surgery was last Friday, August 13th and I am just now feeling half way normal. Of course I'm a big baby when it comes to any kind of pain. The gas pains were and still are pretty intense. Hope all continues to go well. Sounds like you are doing great. Nancy

Sorry about your pain meds, hopefully you got it all worked out by now! Good luck! I just wish I had pain meds for my gas...ugh!

Everything went well slept most of the first three days in between trying to drink.

On full liquid diet and not sure if I am eating enough, but at least not overeating. Go to nutritionist Tues. and first post-op dr. visit Sept. 3.

Heating pad does wonders for gas by the way.

I just got banded on August 19th. I am in my third day of recovery and feeling pretty good.I finally left the house and worked for an hour and could not wait to get home so I could take my pain medication. I am beginning to feel all of the odd stuff in my stomach. Had to get meds from doctor today since my incision site was red and I was worrid it would get infected. I am getting all of my protien and liquids in. I am on a 3 weekliquid only diet but I have many flavors of drinks and soups that I am happy with. I hope the bloating goes down soon and the gas goes away. I am not hungry yet.
