I was banded 11/17. I arrived at the hospital at 6:30 am and was home on the couch by 12:30pm. Everything went perfectly! Slept for a few hours, then woke up and had a popsicle and some water. Slept on and off the rest of the day and night. It is day 2 and I'm feeling pretty well! Its hard to get off the couch by myself (if I'm laying down), have to call my aunt to help me up. Stomach feels tight, not sure if its the band (they say its tighter in the morning) or the incisions. But overall, I've been eating popsicles today too, had an Atkins protein drink, and water. Dr. gave me Lortab liquid for the pain which works really well! Been taking that every 4-6 hours on a continuous basis so as not to allow the pain to build up! Supposed to be on liquids throughout today, then off to soft foods tomorrow through 2 weeks! First fill scheduled in 3 weeks....

Do you have any conferences anticipated for the south? I live in the Nashville, TN area.
