I got banded on the 25th. It went super well. Got up about 1 hour after i woke up and was already walking. I have no pain, just discomfort due to gas and bloating. I feel like a balloon!!! I stayed in the ICU for the night and was feeling so good (compared to others in the ICU unit) that the nurses were wondering if i just got surgery. I finally convinced the doctor to let me go the following day. I know I have a good tolerance to pain but i'm wondering i'm I normal or what?? Getting my liquids down ok too! Strangely i've been craving cheese since yesterday..i know, weird! So for now, resting as much as I can and trying to drink as much Water as I can. I'm SO glad this is over, I feared the worst and I think I was stressing alot for nothing. For those having surgery soon, stay positive, its not as bad as we think....

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
