I check in for my surgery tomorrow (3/22)! at 8am and am supposed to be the first person in!!! WHOOOOHOOOOOO! My birthday is Sunday (3/27) and this is by far the best gift I could have given myself. I had internalized stress a coped with a side of junk food for a while and I am beyond ready to get myself back on track. I gave my friends and family a disclaimer a few weeks ago that I am no longer holding my tongue and can not continue to be EVERYONE's emotional go to person- I was trying to be there for everyone but neglected myself tremendously.

But on a lighter note...how long did you stay in the hospital? I am expecting 2 days and planning to return to work Monday of next week (3/28) since I work a desk job.

I stayed in the wilmington hospital for 2 1/2 days. I went back to work after 3 1/2 weeks. I also have a desk job but could have used another week. My body was physically ok but I was too tired to last a whole day

I wish you the best of luck and a fast recovery. My lapband was the best thing I ever did for myself as well. Life changing

Yay! Good luck! Here's to an uneventful surgery and a quick recovery!

Thanks everyone! I am be released tomorrow. I could have pushed for today but my surgeon suggested to take both days since I am going back to work Monday.

Good luck! I was released the same day. Thought I was going back to work 3 days afterwards but was too weak.

I am feeling surprisingly well! I spent last night on the couch instead of the bed and gave away the last few forbidden foods that were in the pantry this morning. My intention is still to go back to work Monday but that may change. For now I am going to spend the day clearing off my DVR and sleeping of course .Thanks everyone!

Thanks! That's what I am thinking so far. I have some soreness from 3 incisions and a bit stiff in the morning but not unbearable.
