:rolleyes2: Hey everyone!! I'm out of the hospital, my hubby wanted me stay all night instead of coming home so I got home yesterday around 1:00p.m. I didn't wake up from recovery until 6:00 p.m. and he was nervous about me coming right after, so I stayed and was stuck with needles all night, checked my tempt all night, came in and, honestly, woke me up just to find out if I was in any pain!! So, why would I want go home and miss out on all that!! But I guess they were just doing their job! But anyway, so far I've not been sick and no problems with the gas built up. I've been walking around quite abit and I think that helps a whole lot! I'll be on liquids again today and then tomorrow, I'll be on soft foods. I go back Tuesday to get my staples out, I kinda dread that, I never had staples before! :cursing: But "they" say that their better than stitches, I just hope "they" know what their talking about!

There's a little gun that's a staple remover, it bends the staple in the middle and they slide right out! Good luck! Cali

Hey DB,

I am surprised to hear you were stapled post banding. Not too many surgeon use staples for this surgery today, from what I understand, they are using the "Dermabond" a glue that glues the skin in place without staples or sutures. Removing the staples is nothing, you will be fine. I sure hope you are feeling better, I miss chatting with you- Lighterload
