Surgery went withoug a hitch yesterday. I was groggy when I got home and slept for about 2 hours and then woke up and felt pretty darn good. I had a gas pain in my neck, so I applied heating pad. I got up and walked around the house several times and then walked around my cul-de-sac with my Mom and my dog last night. I really felt great. Slept well and my belly was a bit more sore this morning, but nothing real serious. I had my protiend shake this am and now sipping on Diet Green Tea with citrus. I am a happy camper. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes. For those about to have surgery, please don't worry so much. It was not bad at all.:tt2:

I have Cigna and my BMI is 33. I was told that unless your BMI is over 35 for 3 years, + co-morbidities, they won't pay. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, reflux, joint pain, etc. When they did my endoscopy, they found a hiatal hernia. So, I am having surgeon repair that with insurance paying and I am paying $5K for the band. Worth it to me! Good Luck!

So glad you are home and doing well. My surgery is March 18th.

How about March Meltdown?
