Today's The Day!! Getting Banded!

[RyanZ 0]

Today is the day I start my new journey on a new life. I would like to ask for those who believe to pray for me while I go in today for surgery. This is my first surgery in my life, never spent the night in a hospital. I'm a nervous wreck.

Hey everyone! Just an update I just got home from the hospital. Quick overview

Arrived at 8:30am went to Second floor which was day surgery.

@10:00 they came and it was time to be banded.

@2:00 I woke up in Recovery in extremely bad pain. It was the pressure build up in the stomach area. Nurse gave me a couple of does of something. Pain went away.

I stayed awake basically the rest of the day in the hospital bed watching tv and talking to my visitors. The access port cut and the pressure are the only two things that hurt. Couldn't sleep all night which sucked. They gave me chicken broth,jello,juice for dinner and Breakfast which I barley touched.

Hey RyanZ, sounds like you are doing great. I was banded on August 13th and stayed overnight in the hospital. I felt great while I was in the hospital and couldnt believe how good I felt, but...........the next 2 days were terrible!!! I wasn't expecting it. I am feeling much better today think goodness. It was mostly from the gas I think. I am still really sore and tired but feel soooooo much better today. Good luck!!! nancy
