Thanks so much everyone! I am so excited. I have to be at the clinic at 8am & mine is outpatient. How long do the surgery usually take?

Congrats and a fast recovery

Surgery went great & I have very little soreness between my upper stomach & breast bone. I think it's just a small gas bubble. I would say my worse pain is my throat from the breathing tube & its not terrible. I have no complaints at all at this point. Truly blessed by how simple & hurt free my surgery was:) I did find out yesterday that I received an 11cc band & I think he put a little fill in during surgery. I asked when I had just gotten back to recovery & to say I was still loopy @ that point is an understatement. I remember asking though. I just wished I could be certain about the answer lol. I will ask today when they call to check on me:)

I'm banded!!! I don't have pain just the uncomfortable gas situation...

How is everyone feeling today?

I am feeling pretty good today. No pain Meds yesterday. Still just a bit sore.

hoping to get more water down today than yesterday.

Same here... I was able to sleep on my side so I didnt wake up with back pain... Yesterday I only drink one shake and 2 frozen pops... Today im drinking my first shake and I havent had to take any pain meds... just took the prednizone

How is everyone feeling today?

I am much better today. No pain meds & managed to go grocery shopping with the family. I'm getting an appetite now but it's still hard to get much down. I have managed 1/4 cup of broth, 1/2 Protein shake & 1/2 a Gatorade. I hoping to manage a little more broth for supper.

I am feeling pretty good today. I have had a bottle of water, a protein shake, and some cream of chicken soup. No pain meds here either. Still having some "gas" pains when I take a drink. Its more pressure in my chest until it works its way out.

Nice that everyone is feeling better and we are all in the same boat so that is a Def a good thing!!
