Surgery yesterday morning. The doctor just came in and gold me he would release me this afternoon! Yea!!! I have been taking my pain meds, using my spirometer, drinking the 1 oz of water every 20 minutes and just has a Popsicle!!!!

I highly recommend accepting the corset after surgery. This makes getting up and coughing easier.

Did your Insurance require an overnight? I am glad to hear you are doing well!

No my insurance didn't require it, my doctor does. It is a good idea to help manage the pain.

I think one day in the hospital would be nice, but my BCBS would not cover it.

That's awesome! I was banded yesterday too! I was super nauseous yesterday so that was the worse part and today I'm just really sore but it's not bad, and no gas pains so far! I'm also still in the hospital due to my insurance and my doc is supposed to be here in a couple hours to check on me and release me this afternoon! I don't know about you but I can't believe I'm actually banded! I've been thinking and planning for so long it seems surreal lol.
