Hi , im 6 days post op and feeling pretty good but my belly is still pretty swollen. How long does this last ? Should I be worried?

Well, I'm home from the hospital and feeling good other than a bit sore. So glad it's done!

Thanks to all of the support on here I realize I'm not unusual. It's ok to be nervous, but I'm looking forward to getting it done at the same time. I'm on the pre-op liquid diet which is helping to get me ready too. I'll be in the hospital two nights. I'm only taking two weeks from work, I hope it's going to be enough ! :-/

Thanks all for the support! I'll keep you updated and I look forward to hearing your updates as well!

Thank you Cervidae! I'm looking forward to sharing experiences with people here ! Yes , starting my second week on the pre-op diet.

Hi! I'm having my revision surgery on the 17th! I'll be happy to get on with it. I'm starting my second week of the pre-op diet as well . Good luck!!! :-)

I've never posted on boards before but someone suggested I might find support here. I'm one week away from band to bypass revision surgery and getting nervous! I'm anxious to get the band out due to problems I've had with it in the past four years and looking forward to the bypass to help with the weight. I do find that a few well meaning friends and family are not very supportive.
