I was banded yesterday!!!! Checked in @ 11:00am & was home by 6:30pm. Incision pain & nausea was awful but were pretty much GONE within an hour. My recovery nurse was WONDERFUL! I was her only patient and she stayed right by my side. Once home, I had SF popsicle for my throat then battled gas in my abdomen for the rest of the evening. The gas wasn't painful, just very uncomfortable. I walked and drank warm broth for that. (Gas-X wasn't very helpful for me). I slept well with my head & upper back elevated & on my side with pillows supporting my back & belly - much like during pregnancy. This morning, my belly & throat are really sore and THAT'S IT! No pain!!!! I have to the ENTIRE team was WONDERFUL! From Dr. Reilly all the way through to the patient escort. I couldnt have asked for a better team. Not one them rushed or made me feel like I was just a case/number. Absolutely wonderful!!

so happy for you. I was banded on the 25th and am still having trouble with gas... so lucky you 4 sure! We are all different... just another example of this . I wish you the best of luck in your journey. Keep us updated k

That's great that you are doing so well!! I was banded on the 26th, it's weird but I had more back pain than anything now I just have soreness around the incisions and am allergic to the bandage tape so that's a problem but all in all I would say compaired to living life overweight from now on this is worth it!!! Hope everyone continues to do well!!
