Just wanted to update eveybody. I have been banded for almost 24 hours! still in the hospital as my doctor has a overnight policy. but i feel great....well as great as you can when it feels like you've done a bajillion crunches! I didnt get nauseated and they totally stayed on top of my pain. i took a pain meds every 2-3 hours but only the lowest dosage. I wasn't scared....that was the part that amazed me. Every step of the way I was confident that this was MY day and MY choice and MY brand new beginning. Today I am feeling beyond blessed and just waiting to get the all clear to go home! I will take pics of my incisions (that are glued shut the steri stripped then bandaided) after I get home. have a great a day my friends and if this is your band birthday fear not you can do it!

Oh Congratulations! I am so happy for you:thumbup:

Congrats thin, I was waiting for your update. I hope you get home soon, let us know how your doing then. Good luck, and congrats again.

Congrats thinwithin. I had it done yesterday too. I feel the same about sore tummy. I did post my incision pics in my post.
