I honestly feel pretty damn good! I can def say I didn't feel this good after the band surgery at all.

There were 5 of us done on Monday and I was last! As far as I know I was the only revision done. As soon as I got to my room, I was up to bathroom and took a cpl laps around the floor. Basically every time I got up to bathroom I would walk a few laps. Several of the nurses on that night said I didn't even look like I had surgery and praised me for being up and exercising. I crunched ice chips and sipped Water on and off through the night. By 8am the next day I was up walking for over a half hour. I was then taken down for swallow study and my dr came back up the elevator with me and said I could go home as soon as I drank some 1/2 apple juice+1/2 water in med cups. I haven't had any nausea and continue to tolerate fluids fairly easily as long as sipped slowly.

I was the first to go home out of the 5 of us.

I hope everyone else sleeved Monday October 29th is feeling better day by day!

Wonderful. Wishing continueds success.

That is great - congrats!

I stayed just one night and was ready to go home too! I however found recovery from this surgery to last longer then the band - the primary reason I think is exhaustion which probably relates to how hard it is to get Water in at first.

Keep us posted on your progress

Thank you!

I've actually done very well with my sipping. I think the biggest difference now and three years ago, is that I'm in way better shape. I spend from June until beginning of October exercising and running quite a bit. Only reason I wasn't able to continue right up until surgery is bc I popped my hip out and it was misaligned by about 4 inches! It was awful and still slowly recovering from that. I am finally able to walk long distances, did 2 miles yesterday!
