Thank you JosieK!

Well, Im now banded! :) I feel like a Mac Truck hit me! Initial pain meds are starting to wear off, so gotta go recharge! Will ttyl!

Congrats to you new bandsters... I'm now 6 days out and feeling great! My advice.... Walk, walk walk! Keep that air moving out of your belly!!!

Thank you all! I'm scheduled early in the morning! Just like Skisyd' date=' I also cannot sleep. I'm just having last minute jitters. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />[/quote']

So you were done today 10/2?. Cool best of luck.

Thursday 10:30 AM for me.

Yes, had it yesterday, and so far im feeling just fine. No gas like allot of people were saying. No nausea either, of course I have a patch behind my ear and I am wearing the Reletex wrist band therapy, used for post operative nausea. I had to go to the bank this morning and to Wally world for chewy vitamins, but I was in and right out. (don't know how if forgot them). Walked around outside a bit too. Hope I have not ever done.

Finally home after a two day stay. Oxygen problems. Still sore but getting better. Was banded 10/1

Oh my! I'm glad u r home now. Just take it easy. I must have moved around and walked a little too much today. My belly is aching this evening. Gotta hit the meds again.

take it easy yourself. I really don't have much stomach pain but a lot of gas pains in chest and shoulder

How are you doing with the gas pains today. I hope you have gotten some relief. Yep, I'm following your advice! I am on my best behavior sitting in my favorite chair. No more going to Wally world! I'm feeling much better today. Just sore. I saw your FB page and I sent you an invitation.

Still have pain under left rib Cage

Glad you are feeling much better. Have been definitely moving a little slower. Last night my growling stomach woke me up. Today, however, I am craving gummy bears! Do they make sugar-free gummy bears? :huh: I have had chicken broth, plenty of water, G2, a popsicle and diluted apple juice along with my soft chew vitamins. Don't know how to turn the cravings off today.
