Yesterday was my banding. Got to the hospital at 6am to prep and all that. Surgery went well. It took awhile for the anesthesia to completely ware off, so I didn't get out of there until after 2pm. The rest of the day at home was pretty much spent sleeping. I got nauseous once after using my spirometer.

Today has been a lot better. I have been really sore in the midsection but haven't had any nausea. I look forward to sharing the rest of my journey with everyone here as well as learning a lot from you all, on living with the band.

Feel free to message and befriend me.

Congratulations!! I am glad to hear that everything went well.

Congrats!! Yesterday was the first day of your new and improved life!!!!! There may be moments that are tough, but hang in there and one year from now you will be posting about losing 100 pounds!!!!!

Yea, it's good to take it easy the first day or two, and take the pain medicine By day 3 I was stir crazy and had to get out of the house. I took the week off, but ran errands to the mall, etc by day 3.
