Lap band today!

So I just got home from my lap band surgery with True results in Houston! I had a nerve block done so I'm actually okay today but I fear tomorrow lol. I have my heating pad and gas x strips. Anything else that I should have for the next few days? I can send my fiancé out lol. I am so excited! I am starting at 210.6 and I'm 5ft tall also I'm 19 years old and have PCOS. Can't wait until that weight starts dropping off:)!

I'm actually doing a lot better than I thought I would. I'm not as sore or miserable. I have had NO gas pain which is awesome lol. I did have an allergic reaction to the medicine they gave me so I haven't taken any medicine since the second day. I have had a bloody nose and I've been coughing up phlegm. But other than that my incisions look great! And I have very mild pain. I'm 3 days post op and I've lost 3 pounds too! I know I may gain some back during soft foods phase but I'm just excited to be losing some weight now because I've been stuck at a plateau for years.
