Thanks everyone, you're all so nice. :)

Everything went fine. They took me back to the prep room, gave me a few shots and a thingy behind the ear, next thing I knew I was in recovery. The only problem I had was after I got back home and took a nap, I woke up in a pool a blood. Two of the incisions broke open in my sleep somehow. We tried to get it to stop by keeping them packed with gauze and changing them every hour or two but it didn't stop so I went to the ER and they pit 2 stitches in each one. Seem the glue and strips they put on them came loose.

But that's all taken care of, I'm still a little gassy and sore, but I was able to eat a few popsicles and a glass or two of apple juice. I must be pretty swollen cause that seemed to fill me up a lot.

They gave me a large band so the nurse said I'll help a bit with the first few weeks because there won't be much restriction till I get in for my first fill.

Worst part is the gas. Feels like a cantaloupe is trying to push it's way out of my shoulder every time I bend over or try and take a deep breath.

Oh, I lost 16 lbs on the 7 day liquid diet, so that's was a nice jump start. :D

Welcome home and congratulations! Sorry about the glue issues -- that must have thrown you guys for a loop. Best wishes for a smooth recovery now with lots of walking and Popsicles and SLEEP! So happy for you at the beginning of this journey -- and a jump-start at that. Good luck with all!

Glad you're back home after your glue scare! Take it easy for the next few days and congrats on your 16lb start!
