Okay so my surgery was june 6th 2012. I spent one night in the hospital. When i got out of surgery i was in so much pain and my pressure was realllyyyy high. They gave me lots of pain med to bring it down. I slept for about four hours. When i woke up a nurse told me i would have to get up and walk around. I looked at her like she was crazy. However, it was not that bad at all. I was pretty sore but not to the point where i couldnt walk for just a few minutes at a time. I went into the hospital at 7 am june 6th and i was home by 2:00 pm june 7th. I am down 30 pounds in two months and i just got my band filled for the first time last week and added exercise and im now expecting the weight to fly off... All in all, so far, best decision i ever made Be back with updates!
