Back and banded

Hi all...

Well my operation went well yesterday & I came home this morning discharged at 6.30am!! I am feeling very tender and have lots of wind pain but am managing to drink some Water and have ate half a yogurt - which took me about an hour to do!!

WGA was fine... I've read so much bad feedback but so far they have been ok. I had to share a room with another lady on WGA package but apparently you are not guaranteed a private room on WGA. Also my operation was delayed by 3hrs due to waiting for bloods to come back. Had it at 12pm though so not too bad.

The nurses were fantastic and the surgeon & anesthetist were great.

I'm so glad its done but I am in quite a bit of pain today... did everyone else find that the day after?? How long does it last generally? Apparently the stomach is filled with gas during the operation & thats what is hurting?? Also the wounds hurt when I try to sit up!

I sound like a right baby... don't get me wrong its bearable and I'm glad i had it done! Its the first day of my new life!
