I got banded this morning and have been to the grocery store/pharmacy (meds and walking some gas out). I am home resting and watching food Network (my fave post surgery past time).

And for the icing on the cake - fellow bandaged Radarluv and I got to meet in post-op/recovery. Apparently there was some conversation pre-op, but I was already dosed on the good stuff and remember none of it!

I have neve enjoyed burping as much as I am now - ready to get this gas out.

I hope all of our recent bandsters are having a great recovery'

Congratulations!!!

Happy Band Day everyone. Im 2 weeks post surgery. First time since surgery I experienced the dreaded shoulder pain, which I think was from eating something that wasnt mushed up enough. Holy Moly, it was awful. So take it easy on yourselves, rest and stick to liquids as long as your doc says to.

Me, too! Yesterday I hit my 2 weeks and was so eager to get on to the next food phase. Had bean Soup yesterday and I finally wasn't hungry. Hooray for stage 2. Good luck to us!

Just now reading this! I was the one in the pre and post op room with Harmony:) She went in before me an had her cocktail. She said she wanted to "party" after. Ya, she was on the good stuff that I was not fortunate to have had...yet. Shortly there after, I got the good stuff an i was also ready to "party"! Bahaha! Were were in recovery together and chatting across the room to each other, so the nurses finally moved me to a recover recliner next to her so we could open the curtain. We both did awesome according to the nurses and were ready to go faster than most they told me.

I refused the extra pain meds as all I wanted to was get home. I told the nurse that if feeling this good was any indication than I would be ready to go back to my flying gig asap. The nurse said "well let's see how you feel tomorrow". ha! Fast forward to the next day....ouch! Apparently anesthesia made me feel like wonder woman on the first day. Now I am the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Memorial Hermann Southeast gets a 10 out of 10! As does Dr. Hollis and his mad skillzzz.
