I can't wait to have this over with

and breakout with my new lifestyle...

how long did it take for you to get to eat regular food again

and is there anything for me to watch out for that might cause pain, PBs or discomfort??

best of luck to you!

check with your doctor on when you can progress through the food stages - every doctor is different.

remember when you get to solids to CHEW CHEW CHEW and eat slowly.

Leigh, good luck and let us know how you are doing when you get home. Congratulations!!!!

Leigh, I am thinking about you and sending prayers and good thoughts your way. Let us know how it went. I am going in on Thursday and will be so happy once I am on the "other side".

Congrats on your surgery Leigh. Hope it all went well and your recovery is quick. Keep us posted on how you are doing. Good luck with your new life.

thanks folks with all the congrats and well wishes.. and defiantly prayers

All in all it was smooth sailing

at least my Dr's part!

but...before you go NPO the night before

DRINK YOUR Water

it's was 11:30PM before I got home and was almost admitted :wink2:

because I couldn't pee before I left..

Doc was called several times and I ended up with a french foley

one time drainage system..:frown:

anyway the Doc said that if I didn't pee before 7am at home(an hours and a half ago)

that I was to immediately call him:sad:

I did call him to tell him I drank a half gallon of water between 11:35PM until 3am and

went 4 times before the call time of 7am :thumbup:

so DRINK YOUR WATER a LOT of it

before you go NPO for the band
