Whew, am I glad that is over. The anxiety had me going!!! Well I am home now and it was a pleasent experience!!! I was originally schedule for 1:30 pm but the nurse called me this morning and asked if I could come an hour early because the doctor was moving along quickly! I was nervous and excited and kept asking myself do you really want to do this??? Needless to say that now it is done. The hospital staff was heaven sent and my doctor is absolutely wonderful. I am at home resting and enjoying my family. I want to give a special thanks to you all who have supported me mentally in the weeks leading up to today! You too have been heaven sent. Now on to the hard part...LOL!

Thanks guys.

Wow, that's great!! Congrats and take it real easy!! I was useless that 1st day and was required to stay over night. I couldn't wait to get out of the Hospital the next day.

"There's no place like HOME":smile2:!! This forum has really been a tremendous help to me too.

Thanks again, to everyone :thumbup:!!!

I hear alot of people say that they were out of it the first day. I remember everything from the time I woke up. I distinctly remember the dude a few beds over snoring like a freight train and I was wishing I could sleep like that....but it was a good experience. I have been taking my pain meds and it is working but no groginess. :tt1:

I had my gallbladder removed 3/31/10 as day surgury and was home by noontime. I remember the day and the gas pains were worse than the lapband surgery. I don't regret a thing and am 2 weeks post-op. I started soft "real" food yesturday. Very happy to not look at those shakes :tt1:!!!
