Hi everyone,

Iwas Banded as of 12 PM Yesterday! I'm home.Feeling okay,I've had mild pain on site. No shoulder pain thank God! I hope everyone is doing well.

I got banded on the 21st too.

A bit sore today, but I ditched the codeine last night, but will take if I need it to sleep today.

Otherwise doing good.

Hey everyone I'm home!!!!! I feel like a bomb hit me!. 5 incisions and my port is slightly under my right breast, very achy right now, kind of hungry but I'm not sure if I am, because I'm still really bloated. gonna have the hubby go get me some wonton broth in a few just to put something in me besides water. Slept comfortably thanks to the morphine drip lol. and basically just slet for the last 3 hours (climbed into bed immediatly when I got home) Glad to be home.... how about everyone else??? word to the wise from my doc lol... don't worry, the gas will pass!

all I can have on my pr op diet is protein shakes and protein bars. No solid food... Im doing ok with it though. I guess it is a good jump start on weight loss!:thumbup:

all is well over here! staying the night at the clinic. they actually have computers here for the patients, so cool! able to get my LBT and FB fixes!! they actually asked me what kind of music i'd like to hear while in surgery.. i chose the 80's! cried when the wheeled me in out of nerves, but next thing i knew they were waking me up. made some great friends here. there are 8 of us that had our surgery today! and all are very friendly.

the staff here is amazing! wait on you hand and foot. only can have Water, caprisuns, ice and popsicles. stomach has growled a few times but i don't feel like i need to eat.

good to hear that everyone is doing well and made it thru!!!

congrats to us bandito's!!

Lucky. I didn't get squat til I got home I got sips of water...

I was on a 1200 calorie, low carb diet that started 2 weeks leading up to my surgery.

who has showered yet?? I reallly really need help with this one. posted a thread about it.... I feel soo gross but am afraid to b/c of my incisions... btw.... the portein mix I bought isn't bad AT ALL.... *trying* to drink it as I write this

i am heading to shower now. we were closed with bondo/glue. no stitches. just can't submerge for 3 weeks, i.e. baths, spas or pools. but was told i don't even need to put anti biotic since the bondo has it already in there. been having shoulder pains from gas and took some gas-x strips. laid down a bit. now gonna shower and try walking around tj for a bit. there is talk about getting a massage around the corner. gonna make the best of my vacation!

best wishes for all!

I had my surgery on May 22, Sore but fine
