Okay ladies, I have my surgery today and it went well. I was scared over nothing. Not too much pain or gas..............I have been walking and walking and I slept twice today but for the most part...........I had a great experience and I am so happy to have my new best friend!! I have the Realize band not sure of the size yet but I think 9 or 10 cc but I am told I was suppose to get a serial number for it, so should I ask?? :confused2: We arrived at the hospital at 8am and the Doctor was doing a revision and it made him run behind schedule so 9:30 am changed to 11:45 am but the doc came in talked to me, then the nurse came in with another doctor and while she was talking to me he must have slipped that "feel good" medicine in my IV and all I remember was them rolling me out and the jolly young nurse was still asking me questions and I woke up and it was done...................piece of cake I tell you!!! Thanks for all the support and prayers ladies...............Beyonce watch out!!!

Congratulations, glad everything went smoothly, I hope my op goes as smooth as yours!

thanks gg..............it was an awesome experience and I am happy I did it!! Sept. is right around the corner girl.............get ready!!!

your band sister,

Glad you are doing so well. I hope my recovery is as smooth.

Congrats on surgery!! The gas pains will inevitably come, either very small, or large and very painful. Either way you will be fine. Make sure to stick to what YOUR DOC tells you for post op. All docs are different so don't go by what someone else says, just what your doc said. But I do know you should make sure to get all the water in, and your required protein in through shakes. This is the beginning of the rest of your life!!!

So glad to hear that you are doing well!!! I'm starting to get a lil nervous since mine is on Monday, but I know it will all be fine. Thanks for updating us.

A big Thanks goes out to everyone for their encouraging words. My recovery has been pretty smooth so far. The only thing is I can't get rid of this headache that I have had for the past three weeks......what gives?? Also, it seems like when I take a deep breathe I have a sharp pain in my stomach at times...........not all the time though! I have lost 18lbs:lol: OMG it's this freaking liquid diet. Anyway, I am at home chillin:thumbup:trying to get all of my liquids in ....been having trouble doing that lately!! Have a blessed day!
