Today I got my band!! Everything went smooth. Dr fixed my hernia also. When I woke up wow, the pain was intense!!! After multiple shots of pain meds it was better. Maybe more pain because of the fixed hernia? Sitting at home and feel ok. Getting up is a bit rough but I am holding a pillow to My stomach and that helps. Eating sf popsicles. My throat is sore too because they had to put a tube down me. Hoping sleep will be ok. Best wishes to anyone that had their band today!! Thank You all for your support, encouragement and love!! Hugs!!

Congratulations! You take good care of yourself and follow Drs. orders.

During the day, get up every 2 hrs and walk a little, it helps a lot.

Need anything, we're here for you.

Hugs to you also, the first few days is different for everyone mine was pretty good except for the gas pain. Keep in touch and ask questions. Woot Woot another banded sister
