Hey everyone had my band surgery today, and am now back at home tonight. I must say that I feel pretty good. Besides the gas, and burping. I have no complaints. I walked briskly out of the hospital. I was ready to go home. I said "Wheelchair, unh unh. I'll be to my car by the time you get one, I'm outta here."

I think my recovery will be quick, I am so excited. Can't wait to start seing some results.

Welcome to bandland!!!!

Congrats, Caramel! Let us know how you're doing.

Tink, you asked about walking. Everyone seems to get different instructions from the docs; mine had me walking around the hospital the day after surgery. I thought I'd never manage to stagger out of bed, but once I started moving I really did feel better.

I thank you for the good feedback.. I read where you are zonked out and thenI read people are walking around soon after they wake up in recovery room.

I was told I have to walk so I soon I have problems with my lungs I have had pneumonia 3-4 times and dont want to get it again. Told I must have a RRT Theraphist to put me thru breathing excerises. true.? Thanks

I welcome all feedback. Tink

Sounds like you're doing great, good luck on your band journey to the new you.
