Woke up from surgery to find that the Dr. had to use a large band, I had been previously told that he always used the regular band, never needed to use the large!

I hope this does not destroy my hopes of being a " No Filler " ?

These ice chips are yummy LOL - Not hungry at all, looking forward to going home tomorrow.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the "other side". After the surgery, those ice chips are heaven. Get plenty of rest, sip your water and drink as much protein as allowed and you can.

Congrats, rest when you're not doing your walks. Take care of you, heating pad is good on the shoulder when the gas pains come. Enjoy your new journey.

Welcome and congrats! Now put down your cell phone and go for a walk!

Welcome to the Loser's side !

Hope your doing O.K...

If you have a hard time in Bed at home, try sleeping in a Recliner, with a lot of pillows.

Hope you sleep well.

Congrats and welcome!! WALK WALK WALK!!

Welcome - agree with walk, walk, walk. Don't worry if you need a fill or not....take one day at a time. Speedy recovery.

Yay! And as previously said, walk, walk, walk!!! And stay hydrated, too! Good luck. Karen

Thanks to all, I have been walking I cannot sleep in hospitals, hoping to go home today. My doctor was awesome enough to have the gas removing machine ( I learned about it after my last surgery it prevents the gas pain but most doctors do take the extra minute or the cost of the machine-it should be mandatory on Laproscopic procedures) so NO gas pain, very nice this is my 3rd procedure in as many years due to my liver disease.

So excited to start this journey! ! !
