Our surgery was on May 19th! Everything went well. We arrived at the hospital at 6 am, my husband's surgery was scheduled for 7:30 and mine for 8:30 am. Both surgeries went well, both of us also had a hernia fixed that they found during surgery. Dr. Richard had requested that we stay over night due to the fact that we live 2 1/2 hours away. I was worried about the post op pain, we did receive some pain reliever in our IV but neither one of us felt the need to use our morphine pump. We stayed over night and visited each other during the day. We went home around 9 am on Wednesday. We were tired when we got home but am doing great. My husband went back to work today and I am going back tomorrow. I do feel so full but am trying to get down my protien drink.

We go back to see Dr. Richard next Wednesday. I was so impressed with Dr. Richard and the hospital. The hospital is Northeast Medical Center in Gainesville, Ga. Everything was wonderful!!! :cursing:

It is so exciting that we are finally post op! I have been checking on bypass/banding for so many years and finally we are here!!

Congrats on the successful surgeries and cheers to a thinner and healthier future!
