Surgery is today!

[Katbad 30]

So all the easy stuff is done. Now the work starts! After all the pre-op appointments, being poked and prodded multiple times, and finally surviving this horrific pre-op diet all I can say is BRING IT ON!

It may be a bit rough for the first few hours but after that it gets better really fast. Wishing you the best!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I’m doing really well. The surgery was complicated. The surgeon discovered a massive hiatal hernia grown all around my lapband. Also the lapband was growing into my diaphragm. It took 3-1/2 hours just to remove the band and hernia then another 1-1/2 to do the sleeve.

However my recovery is going great. I was able to come home the day after so got some decent sleep. My only real pain right now is in my neck - probably was cranked back so long with a tube in it. Otherwise doing well.

Sip sip sip!

Glad your surgery is over! Thank heavens you didn't know about all those complications ahead of time. You would have been worried stiff! Hope you have a smooth recovery!
