Got my band yesterday

Well, I had my lap-band surgery. My surgery was with Dr Tarnoff at Tufts-New England Medical Center. I feel pretty good. My surgery was at 8:30 am and I got home around 5 pm. My belly is sore, feels like I ahve been punched about 200 times in the stomach.....I had some tea and broth before I left the hospital More broth when I got home. Today I had about 2 tbs of yogurt with my pain meds mixed in it and a sugar free popsicle and a little Water.

So far so good. I live about 15 miles south of Boston and we got 10 inches of snow last night, so I guess I will just hang in the house for today.

Patty,

WOOHOO! Congrats on becoming a newer leaner you. Dont forget to walk around your house today. Not only for the gas but also to clear out your lungs. That kicked in the gut thing only lasted a couple of days for me.

Feel better and keep us posted.
