Well, i am officially banded. Still hasn't sunk in yet.

The surgery went smoothly. I remember being wheeled into the OR, talking to the nurses and doctors then the mask was placed over my nose and that was it. I woke up in recovery and was told everything went perfectly.

I couldnt drink anything the whole rest of the day. I did have a pain pump that helped alot with the incision pain.

Tuesday am i went for a barium swallow to make sure everything was doing well then i was given a tray full of liquids: tea, broth, jello, popcicle and water. I couldn't wait to dig in! Suprisingly i was hungry, just really thirsty.

So, today marks day 3. I am definitley in more pain in the stomach area. No gas pains yet. I am sure they will come. Drinking fluids is really satifying. I am suprised on that.

i have been taking laps around the house and that really seems to help loosen things up.

So, in summery, everything well and the only pain i have is from the incisions. I am still bloated and up 2 pounds from before surgery. I hear days 3-5 are the worst??

I will keep you posted.

Good luck to everyone that is scheduled this week!

that's awesome. So happy for you. Can't wait until I join Bandland!!!
