I am nervous and excited about the journey. My surgrery is at 1030am eastern time. It's a St Vincents Hosptital in Carmel,IN ,performed by Dr. Cacucci. Wish me luck. See ya when I get back.:clap2:

Good luck to you! Although, I'm sure you don't need it. I had my band placed on the 23rd. I am doing ok, pain about a 3. Went ahead and went to my monthly support meeting (I was bored and hadn't had any pain meds yet, so what the heck) Stopped at a casino on the way home and made $150., but was dragging at about a 5 (on the scale) by the time I got home, so NOW I am appreciating the meds. lol. Been burping alot, but think that is normal with getting rid of the gas.

Let us know how you make out.

Home from hospital today. Feel great no meds, just back pain, I think it is from the gas not passing. All the nurses were great keeping me from vomitting . I got real sick from the anesthesia. I am not hungry yet but am eating my two ounces over the 30 min period, it's hard. also hard getting down the protein drink . Milk tetc... thanks for the posts.

One of these days I will figure out how to put the counter on my posts and to use all the pretty things.

Thanks for the info regarding right after your surgery. I'm scheduled for next Wed and am nervous. I didn't think I would be but the closer it gets, the more I am!

Keep us posted on your progress!

I am just so tired.Exhausted I'm only up now to do the required walking. I will keep you posted . My starting weight 210 lbs.

Also it is hard getting all of the drinks down. I think tomorrow will be a better start to the day. Not in the hospital.
