how are you doing now? I guess your surgery is done and you are on a liquid pahse still, or mush phase. I had mine (re-done) on Dec 23rd, after a failed one on Dec 17th. I had to have major diaphragm surgery before they could do the first one, causing the band to seal and nothing would go down. I then needed emergency surgery to take it out and put in a new one. But today I am six days into recovery and feeling fairly good.

I don't need a drop of pain medication, nor nausea meds, so I consider I am on the mend. I becamse so dehydrated from the first one, not knowing nothing was going down...threw up three times and was really really sick.

In my case, a doctor I did not choose did the first surgery and my own doctor "assisted." It was not done properly and I could have died. I could hardly breathe, either. the hospital let me go home before I could rink or breathe. lots of mistakes, but the good news is that I got my own doctor after all and he did it right.
