I was banded on Friday, and I've slept a lot. I haven't been able to take my narcolepsy meds, so I slept a lot longer than most people do in recovery. Surprisingly, my shoulder doesn't hurt at all! My back does, however.

They made four 1 1/2 inch incisions, and one 1/4 inch incision. I kind of miss being in the hospital, because I was able to have people catering to me. It's very difficult to play with the kids when I'm in pain. ugh.

It'll all be worth it though! Doctor says he actually leaves saline in the band during surgery, but I didn't ask him how much I've got. I have been feeling nauseous in the morning.

Hi there! I was banded Thursday, came home after and slept most of the day. Friday slept on and off but then did too much and have paid all weekend. Are you finding things to eat? I did only Water until last night and then did a popsicle. Today I have had a popsicle and have been working on yogurt on and off all day. I wish you well...if you find anything that's wonderful right now let me know!!

Congrats, Princess! I have really bad memory issues associated w/ my sleep disorder, so I can't remember when my doctor said I can start on stage 1 baby foods. I am pretty sure he said I could start that tomorrow, but to be on the safe side i'll wait until they open on Tuesday for me to double-check.

I do have a ton of baby food stocked up for when I'm ready.

i was also banded on friday, and have not had much of an appitite. this is definately going to be a ride. I am starting to figure out why they call the band a "tool"
