ok, well i got home this morning, stayed one night in the hospital, and all i have to say is uggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........

my pain tolerance must be a lot lower then most of yours because i really thought this was a bit painful. Bad part was my body didn't like the anesthesia, so when i woke up i was vomiting. They were also putting a catheter in me when i woke up...fun.

I stayed one night in the hospital I had my own room and the staff was really great. I slept off and on, and my neck really hurt, i wanted to lay on my side but it was difficult. I got up around 8am and walked around and got dressed but slowly and painfully. I came home and haven't done much but answer phone calls from family to see if i was ok, and sleep. I'm going to try to sleep on the bed tonight (I've been sleeping on the recliner)

I have a bit of gas pain but not to much, my incisions also hurt but not a lot, its worse when I get up to walk around. hopefully I'll be feeling a lot better in a day or 2.

Feel better soon K@t!!!! Congratulations on the band!

Yup, surgery does cause some pain. I'm a wuss too! hehe

I hope you feel better K@t

Glad your home K@t, it's like everyone has said. Everyday you'll feel a little better. I had a problem with the Morphine and was very nauseated. I didn't vomit, but boy did I feel like I was going to.
