So happy to say my surgery was a success!!!! Had the surgery at about 7:45 am 3/23...woke up with slight pain but I was more cold than in pain. No pain in the incisions well just a little bit tender where the port is. No gas pains {knock on wood...lol}! I just get a little stiff if I sit to long, but other than that everything is going well! So happy about my decision!

Thats Awesome! I was also banded on the 23rd. I woke up wilth not alot of pain but very sick to my stomach. Was given nausia meds and by the time I was home the sickness went away but the gas kicked in! I was misarable till about 4 oclock yesterday. Today I am feeling great wilth only some slight pain where my port is and in one of the incisions. It has a bruise the size of a small orange. I have gone down 18 pounds since I started my liquid diet 2 two weeks ago. I know you know how I feel today! Like its the begining of a new day and a new way of life!!!!!!! Good luck to you!

My surgery was also 3/23! I was very sore when I woke up and I've had a small amount of gas pain - nothing too bad. The port incision is VERY sore. I overdid it today (shopping with my teenage daughter for a dress for a dance) and I am feeling it right now.

Still not hungry. I am a little in awe that the last time I ate was Tuesday afternoon and here it is - Friday night - and NOTHING.

I am having a hard time getting in my required amount of clear liquids! How are you two doing?

Congratulations ladies!! We're band sisters...lol

I'm not really hungry either! I stayed over night in the hospital they gave me chicken broth, sugar free jello, sugar free popsisicles{so good} & apple juice. I was nauseas about an hr after I had to drink that contrast crap to make sure there were no leaks...I threw all that crap up...ugh! But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get the gas pains but I've been up walking around so hopefully they don't come!
