Well Well Well... i was banded on 10/08/2009... my surgery was scheduled for 6:35AM i was trying to be there 15 minutes early but i got there right on time lol... my mother and i went to the pre-op room , the nurse asked me the last minute questions( chance of being pregnant? Those types of questions) This was my first time having surgery so of course i was nervous, the docs could tell i was... i was wheeled into the surgery room then told to get on to the the surgery table... it was little but i got up there with no problem... the nurses and doctors already in there where getting ready... i just remember the kool funny guy Tim and his assistant Becky... very nice people... then i remember them putting a mask on me and that was it...lol then they kept telling me to wake up wake up... then i remember seeing my mom.. after that i dont remember anything lol... PAIN wise i only had it when i moved but it didnt hurt hurt but it was just wasnt comfortable... i stayed over night and got out yesterday(10/09/2009) in the evening time.. i have these moments where i get a little dizzy but i could still see and when i walk i hummm alot lol idk y i just do... i havent had any pain medication since i left the hospital but i just wanted to know when is all the pain suppose to go away im just scared when i go back to school on tuesday im going to have all this pain, when im moving..

Well my pain went away after 4 days!

My pain has come and gone but hasn't been too bad - truthfully. I am scheduled to go back to school (teacher-librarian) on Tuesday. I think I'll be okay.

Walk - walk - walk! When I get to hurting - I get up and walk around the house.

Hopefully mines goes away by 2morrow to, which would make it 4 days... i want to be pain free when i get to school! lol also im craving for food but im not hungry i think thats the craziest thing ever l0l

Hi there,

I was banded on 10/8 as well, and today was my first day back at work. I was pretty out of it - I still feel foggy from the anesthesia, I think! My pain is pretty much gone, other than the shoulder pain from the gas. That crept up on me today and by 2:00 I was pretty uncomfortable. Glad to be home now!
