Surgery this morning and it was great!

So had lap band placed this morning. I have a single incision in my belly button, have had minimal pain, and have been home for almost 8 hours. Even after I asked and received the pre op anti-nausea meds, I had a twinge of nausea after I walked and went to the bathroom. I got another nausea med called Reglan and then I was fine. I have been setting my phoine alarm for when the 4 hour mark is approaching so that am taking the lortab elixir to stay in front of the pain. I had a little bit of gas pain too , but amazingly now it is gone. I ate some jello and have been "sip, sip sipping". I also have walked around a little bit....not bad That's about it........I almost wonder if there really is a band in there :) I guess I will be on here alot more as I have 12 days off with nothing to do!

Knock on wood I hope I am as lucky as you, I go in on the 20th and the nerves come and go. I will have 8 days off and hope it's enough. :)

Sending positive energy your way now!:D At work this week, one of my coworkers cam up to me and asked if I was nervous... I guess I had been alot more quiet than normal for me lol. I am still nervous, just because it IS a process, but I am glad that there are people out there going thru it with me :)
