I actually lost another 3 pounds! This is a good start to the journey I think! Just had my bp taken and I'm waiting on an IV. I hope I can hold my arm still long enough!!

Good luck today, walk walk walk, Take pain meds if needed and definitely use your gas-x.

I'm actually in pre op now with my IV started! Waiting to talk to the surgeon then they will give me meds to help relax me.

I'm banded!

Congrats! :)

Banded and home! In a decent amount of pain tho. Hopefully I'll be able to fall asleep soon

Jesscaba - thanks for letting me tag on along on your topic. I'm not in too much pain right now but think it will kick in later. Although I have been extremely tired since surgery I wasn't able to sleep at all until I got home then only for about 1 1/2 hour.

I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is pain or pressure but I do know it's not fun. My nurse said they gave me the max dose of morphine and I had a real hard time staying awake.

Are you nauseous? My email is jesscaba@aol.com. Maybe we can stay in touch and embark on this journey together?
