...banded, and done with my first surgery.

It went very well. The nurses in the recovery room told me I hold the new record for fastest waking up & being ready to go. No nauseau, and no gas! But I burped a lot in the recovery room. Surgery started around 11 and I was on my way home around 2. Pain has been minimal, and is only when I move or walk around. When I'm reclined, I hardly feel anything and have gotten some good rest. I was able to weewee yesterday so no problems there, either. So - all in all I'd have to say it went well.

No appetite yet. Yesterday I ate about an oz of Jello, and drank about 8 oz Water. Today about 4 oz jello and another 10 or so oz of water. I just don't feel hungry, but I know my body needs *something* so I will aim for another 10 or so oz of water and some both before the day is over.

This was also my first surgery, and an interesting experience. I hope to start up a detailed journal soon, to help alleviate others' concerns and since I knew what questions I had coming into this (as a surgery virgin), maybe be able to answer questions others might have.

Cheers!

This is wonderful to read I hope I do as well!!!Best Wishes and try to rest!!
