Hi Jazzy Junes--

I just got home at 11am from an overnight at the hospital. When I woke up in the recovery room I though they hadn't been able to band me because nothing hurt!

Got up to my room and was walking laps within an hour. They brought me a tray of clear liquid diet and I couldn't hardly eat any of it. Slept and walked all night. This morning the incisions were a tad sore, but the nurse squirted something in my IV and it didn't hurt anymore.

I have seven incisions! I wonder why....

So those of you worried about the pain--it was a lot less than thought it would be.

That's super! I was able to walk no problem and do what I needed to go to get the heck out of the hospital last night but I have to admit I feel like I've been in a bar fight that ended with getting stabbed (you should see the other guy LOL!). Oh and I couldn't see to well either. But I've taken a lot of pain meds in my time so I think I might suffer a little more than you guys. But still I am much better after a night's sleep and walking is no problem.

Yay! I'm so glad your surgery went so smooth, and with so little pain!

Mine was the same way. I've had a c-section before, and before the surgery I was preparing myself for that level of pain after the banding. But much to my surprise, it is MUCH more tolerable than a c-section. The pain was not near what I had expected.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
