Hi All

Well here goes--I am heading out of work today. Got to go buy some decent (comfy) PJ's for the hospital.... Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I think I've got it all lined up at home for after surgery...

Heating pads to DVD's. Thanks to all for the wonderful support since I started this journey last October...When you hear from me next I'll be banded!!

Excellent! See you on the banded side of life. . .

Good Luck tomorrow, I hope all goes well for you

Post when you are home and feeling up to it and let us all know how things went for you

YAY!!!!!!! Good Luck!

Hi All-

Back at work today--All in all it went pretty well. I think the worst thing was the barium swallow right after surgery....Used the pain medication directly after surgery and that evening. Honestly didn't feel too bad. I felt like I had been punched several times in the stomach however. On full liquids now and for the rest of the week. Then it's onto pureed for a couple of weeks. My doc has a very conservative post-op diet, but I knew that going in! Have my post op appointment with the doc Friday--I think I was too groggy day of surgery to ask any intelligent questions. I've got my list for him.

Awright Sallykotz!!!! So glad you made it there and back, and seem to be recovering so nicely! Good for you!!!! So, surgery Thursday, back at work Monday?! WOW! I'm very impressed. You take it easy! Thanks for the update.

Sally got her band!!! Wahoooooo!!!

Sally, I didn't even get pureed foods for 2 weeks. Of course, I am now finding that I don't like them anyway !!

Welcome to bandland! I'm glad to see you had a good experience with your surgery!
