If this is what labor pains are like, I can have 10 kids. Bring it on. :thumbup:
Seriously, now, I was banded 10 days ago. The fist day was pretty tough for me, but mostly because I had a bad reaction to the pain meds and was really REALLY nauseous. My incisions were pretty sore for a few days, but it was definitely bearable. So, to sum up...you probably won't be up to dealing with any legal issues for the fist day or two, but if you can reschedule the appointment for 3-4 days after surgery, you'll be absolutely fine.
