It's over and I have officially made it to bandland! I had my surgery yesterday May 8th and I am totally excited. I managed to get up and walk around today. I did nap most of the afternnon because I took some drugs, otherwise I am doing well. I just took a shower and feel pretty good. I just wanted to thank everyone for the well wishes! I'll be keeping you all updated...

Hey Jen, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Welcome to the losing side! Rest up, heal up and start the losing train. Don't forget to sip that water!

Jen, congratulations and welcome to bandland!

Welcome fellow banster, may the band be with you....(ok, corny, I know) LOL

Yay for you sneaux! Welcome to bandland!

Congrats! I hope you are sipping very slowly! Watch out for that GAS!

Welcome to bandland. Keep moving don't sit too long at any one time. Sip sip sip and enjoy being on the loosing side!

Thanks! I've been sipping and trying to get all my portein in. Liquid diet orders are to drink 1 ounce every 15 minutes while awake. I do have some gas pains but it's going away. I'll try to walk today and I am going to drive to the store. This is pretty cool....

You can drive already? I was instructed not to drive for 7 days. Congrats on your band and much success!

7 days with no driving? WOW! I would have been SOL, I went back to work less than a week after surgery!

Congrats Poster Child... welcome to bandland! :clap2:

They told me I could drive after 24 hours. I did go to the store about 3 miles away. I had to get my haircut this morning and my sister-in-law drove me. I do feel better but don't want to over do it!
