I stayed over night and I am glad I did. the IV pain meds were great as was the hospital bed for sleeping. The first night I tried to sleep in my own bed I had a really really hard time due to the gas and then getting out of bed was very painful. At first I did not want to stay overnight but my doc requires it so in the end I was very glad I did.

I stayed overnight and glad I did too for the reasons stated by the above poster. The IV pain meds were great and so was the non-flat bed. When I started the prescription meds they didn't help as much and glad I had the day of IV meds. I even watched some movies and favorite shows on the TV which doesn't happen at home with a very active toddler.

I had the option of staying overnight and decided to come home. My honey took the weekend off and he took great care of me. There is no place like home. My Bed was uncomfortable at first but I got used to it. I wanted to do everything normally so I would know what to expect.

I have my date of this Sunday, April 29. I'm starting to get kind of scared as I have never had any surgery before. My wife was banded last Sunday and is now doing well. She had a fair amount of pain on Sunday night and Monday. Wish me luck!:smile: Should I be so nervous??

Hello and thanks for all the replys, I did it!! Got banded on the 21st, I didnt tell alot of family I was doing it because I didnt want to hear any negative comments or just anything that would scare me, I kept my self calm, it went great, it was over in no time, I walked myself to my hospital room as I decided to stay overnight and glad I did. My gas pain wasnt too bad I dont think , a lady next door to me was having bad shoulder pains due to the gas so i'm glad I didnt get that. Those of you about to get banded, don't even worry, just burp alot, let the gas out , drink your tea, Water, crystal lite, and walk every hour youll be just fine. God Bless! By the way I havent had anything but motrin for pain since I got home.

Hi All,

I had my banding yesterday and an overnight stay at the hospital. It wasn't too bad, other than getting up at 3 am to head to the hospital. I'm home and hungry - definitely a good sign I think, since it means I'm recuperating. Off to bed now - more later.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
