Going for my Band tomorrow!

Hi everyone.. My name is Cherie and I'm new here. I found this site tonight while trying to figure out what to expect tomorrow as I am having my surgery early afternoon. I found a lot of great information thanks for the input.:)

Hi everyone.. I had my lap band surgery yesterday and all in all I can't complain. I have the shoulder pain too but it's not horrible; just uncomfortable. My stomach feels sore like it's bruised and swollen as though you were punched.. but it's nothing that is holding me down.

I had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia I just couldn't get going but once I did get up and move around I felt great.

I am so happy I did this!

Thanks for the support
