I'm going to cheat and re-paste my blog entry here. Thanks for asking!!

I'm almost disappointed that my surgery was uneventful and boring.

It was kind of like my C-section only this time the doctor didn't pick me up by my legs and slap me in the ass to get me breathing.

11:10 AM - Checked in the hospital

11:20 AM - Got brought a room to strip and put on a johnny

11:40 AM - Nurse inserted IV as prep

1:10 PM - Rolled to OR

2:20 PM - Woke up in recovery room feeling bloated

2:40 PM - Walked to x-ray and drank barium

3:20 PM - Was sent home

I did not feel any pain yesterday and this morning I am a little cramped maybe sore but the gas is irritating. When I went to bed the gas is subsiding. Well, the night shift came on while I was sleeping and I have a whole batch of renewed gas this morning.

I take 8 pills a day and the doctor said I may have to take them 1 at a time now. I took the whole fistful at once and chugged some Water. No biggie.

All in all, I've felt much worse after a night out drinking. I could actually go to work today if I wanted but that ain't gonna happen.

I did however gain 5 pounds yesterday. How much do these damn bands weight?

I'm glad it went smoothly!!

The gas pain does suck-- my shoulder pain went away the first night and I thought I was home free-- only to find the gas was just rumbling around in my abdomen (very uncomfortably) the next day making me not want to drink anything. Ah, well. It's mostly gone by now.

I suppose that is Water weight you've gained. Due to your body holding onto Fluid to protect your "injured" stomach. It'll go away quick-like-a-bunny!
