Bliddy hells bells!!!!!!!!!! There is NOWAY I could have left after two hours of waking up.

Well congratulations!!! :scared2: Only two hours. Wow!

Where I'm getting it done I will have to spend the night. I wish I could go home the same day.

THAT IS AMAZING!!! I was in recovery for 6 hours, in and out of sleep, I got drugs every 1 1/2 - 2 hrs... I don't think I could've gotten up right after that.... my hat goes off to you!!!

Wow!!! Congratulations, welcome to the club. Man two hours is fast!!!! Well hopefully that translates into super fast healing as well... Good Luck

Unbelievable. I got banded Friday and left the hospital 24 hours after waking. They wanted me to stay the night because of my apnea but I never would have lasted at home. Came home today and I'm totally crapped out. Gas pains are the worst.

Congrats! You might have tied my record... I walked (yes, walked) to the hospital at 7:00 AM, went into surgery a little after 9:00, and was home a little after noon (they wouldn't let me walk home though, had to get a ride)...

Worst parts for me were sore throat for first 24 hours, then weirdo referred gas pains in shoulder and neck. Gone in 3-4 days, and not that bad...

Had the band surgery done on Monday (7/14/08) start back at work tomorrow

Congratulations to the new bandsters!

Thanks first time on this forum and trying to figure things out

BigDaddy - Congrats on being banded as well!! Good luck tomorrow at work. I will have to return to work a week after my surgery as well. Let us know how things go.

i operate equipment on a golf course. doc says give it a little more time.

I was able to leave within an hour. I guess it all depends on the surgery center and whether you've been able to "go". We had to have an empty IV, drank one bottle of Water and "go" before we left the center.
