I was banded on Friday (May 28) in Mexico. I had the option to stay until Sunday but chose to come home yesterday because I felt it would be more comfortable at home.
Right after the surgery I had pain in my shoulder and more gas pains than anything else. Today there is very little pain - just a little discomfort.
I do have to say that on the drive home, I drooled over every restaurant that I passed by and the food ads on television are driving me crazy. This eating clear liquids for a week is not going to be fun but I am definitely not going to do anything but follow the rules. What did surprise me is what small drinks of liquids you have to take. If I take too large of a sip, it feels like it gets caught - I guess like it's going down a funnel. Weird.
