Okay it is done, finally. I got to the hospital at 6:30am and I was home for approximately 11:45am. I guess surgery got started about 7:45 then a few hours of recovery. Honestly the experience was not bad at all. The worst part was waking up from the anesthesia. Not a lot of pain just discomfort. I have no pain at the incision sites ( I have 5 little incisions), just discomfort from the gas. I have been taking gas-x strips like crazy. They don't seem to be working, but walking back in forth is my house makes it a bit easy. I can honestly say that the experience was not bad at all. I was a bit hungry, so I had a few sips of water here and there and a little broth. I'm pretty sure that I may have a little pain tomorrow, hopefully not much. I am so glad it is finally done and now I can look forward to working on the new me. I was calm, no anxiety or fear this morning. Thanks for the prayers ya'll, they definitely worked. God is Great. TTYL and Thanks again

Yettia

Congrats!!!!! Me and my husband get banded tomorrow morining. On one of the other posts, someone suggested children's liquid drops for gas (she says it helps the best). I stopped to get some, just in case
