Today was the day... and I DID IT!

I actually feel pretty good... like a giant pin cushion.. but I can handle the discomfort as long as I don't hurt!!!!!

How did everybody else do today?:whoo:

Gratz!!! I go in tommorrow morning for mine. Terribly nervous but also excited..

Glad to hear you are doing well and everything went ok!

Welcome to the other side MissSac!! Get your rest and keep up with the fluids!

Let us know if we can be supportive!

Hey MissSac! Congrats! I got mine on 12/17 too. I don't feel too bad but don't feel great either. My pain meds taste awful how about yours?

Overall I wish I would have stayed in the hospital overnight but as a self-pay I was an outpatient... so bye bye, go home...and my kids(3, 4 7) drove me nuts! I guess a day in daddy daycare wasn't much fun.

Woohoo, me too!! Sitting here in this computer chair is QUITE uncomfortable though, so I won't be online much. The pain is definitely less than a c-section, but my pain medicine is still a good friend at this point.

Congrats to y'all!! Let the fun begin!

I am so happy that you are all doing so well. I was banded yesterday and just got home a few hours ago. I have to admit that I feel pretty darn great! Of course it could just be the Percocet talking, but I really feel wonderful aside from the tenderness and gas.

As I was sitting on the couch while my husband was picking up my prescription, it finally hit me. I'm on my way to being thin! And guess what? You all are, too! Isn't that such an incredible feeling?

We had our surgery the same day. They kept me overnight which is okay. I am doing much better today.

I hope you are still doing good.

Talk to you soon. Good luck and best wishes to everyone on here.:whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:

My surgery was yesterday. I got home about 1:00 p.m. today. (Due to my distance from the hospital, I had to stay over.) The surgery was quick, although Dr. found I had a very large hernia in my diaphragm. He repaired that. Basically most of my stomach has lived in my chest cavity all my life. That explained a lot!

The worst of it was that for about an hour my right shoulder in the joint area hurt so bad I thought they must have ripped it out of socket moving me onto the bed. But that's the referred pain due to the gas that's pumped in. But it became considerably better after an hour. I only used Tylenol with out any "good stuff" added after that. I did take something stronger for the trip home, just in case. But we stopped at a WalMart about halfway home so I could walk and we picked up a few groceries. I enjoyed the walk.

I'm using a laptop in a recliner, don't think I'd like sitting infront of a regular PC.

Now I'm going to be lazy and copy and paste this on all the appropriate threads.
