Thank you for the entry on my blog and that sleep thing was a breeze so don't worry about it. I stressed over it also and then laughed at myself after it was over with. I am sorry your husband is not with you but you are doing this for yourself, not anyone else. I have only told a few people and wished I just kept it to myself but too late. I am excited and scared too because you hear of so many bad stories but I don't look at them, I like reading the good stories. Take care and I will blog on how I make out tomorrow. Judy

Thanks Judy, are you having your surgery soon...or have you had it- would love to know- Hope that all works out for you -Good Luck.! Not nervous about the sleep apnea just the surgery- and then being alone right after- just hope I don't need anyone around to take care of me. God Bless!!

I don't know about everyone, but I needed someone to help me for a few days after surgery. Not all day long, but often enough. I was in pain and couldn't move without help. Maybe if you have a friend of family member who can check on you? Or a neighbor? Someone who can come a few times a day to make sure you are ok and refill ice and water and stuff, and help you to the restroom.

I came home to a husband and four kids. But I had gotten my pain meds early and stocked up the house for myself. My husband did drive the kids to school for a few days. I did need a ride home from the hospital. but besides that I was on my own. I did have a little hard time getting out of my bed. at night but I would put pressure on my incisions and just kind of roll over. it was all fine. i thil you will be ok on your own. just prepare for the next 3 or 4 days with liquids jello and don't forget your pain medication. Take it as prescribed. My Aunt is a nurse. She has always told me to take it even if I don' feel I need it so the pain cycle won't start. So good luck. You will love the band. I have lost almost 40 pounds in 3 months. I love it..

Julie I should be having my surgery at the end of this month- I am still very confused as to what to expect-I don't comprehend things well maybe lol- like what will happen during the surgery -the after what i will be able to drink- and what kinds of pain meds do they give you...I hate taking pills... any info you give me would be appreciated have a blessed day
