I am hoping all went well.

Hello all. I was banded on the 1st! I think that I am doing pretty good, I did not need any pain medication in the recovery room and I went home the same day. After the anesthesia wore off, I was very alert and only sore, but no real pain. I think the worst part of the day was going to radiology and drinking the contrast stuff. It was by far the worst thing I have ever tasted in my whole life! :thumbup: However, its a tiny price to pay for the benefits of the band. I was sore when I got home and took a nap after taking a little bit of liquid lortab. That stuff rocks my socks! Yesterday I got up and felt pretty good and went to go see a matinee at the movie theater. We saw Hancock, which was a pretty good movie. I think that the most annoying pain is the gas pain, which is not that bad, but still annoying as it feels like it is deep in my left shoulder. Today however, its not there! I know this sounds gross and silly but the first time I passed a little gas, I wanted to do a little dance LOL What a relief! So here I am with my little pain ball attatched to me, which I get to take out tomorrow. While typing this up I feeling pretty good about my decision now. I can't wait to hear from other folks after they get banded this month! Oh yea, by the way....In the past 2 1/2 weeks since started the pre-op diet, i have lost 25 pounds, holy smokes! I can see difference in my face already! Woooo hoooo!

Congrats Kiwi!!!! 25 pounds already! way to go :thumbup:
