Surgery went well. I guess I felt the most pain right when I woke up so the nurse started me on pain meds right away. I'm on a Morphine pump that I control myself. My pain level is probably at a constant 2 just because my tummy is sore. Other then that I feel line. I was. Little annoyed because I spent like 4 hours in recovery because I had to wait for a room to become available. I have a pain In my back but I think it's because of laying in this damn hospital bed. The nurse gave me a heating pad. I have had cotton mouth all day because I can't have any fluids or food, I'm on an IV. I guess at 7 am I'll get an X-ray of my band. Then after that my surgeon will make the decision if I'm allowed to start fluids because then he'll start my fluids here. I've had 2 shots of heparin in my belly, I have the things on my legs to prevent clots, nasal cannula, and my spirometer that I have to use to exercise lungs. Overall this surgery want bad. This was my first real surgery. Also I dont have any gas pains. I burped a few times after surgery, but nothing else since. Going to bed now.

The big part is over-the surgery! Now time to recover. SO happy that you guys are doing well!! One thing I have heard over and over again is to try a walk a little each day. Speedy recovery to you both!

Just curious, after lapband surgery, do you stay over night at hospital or do they send you home? I will be having mine at Cedars Sinai Med. ctr, in Los Angeles, and my insurance is Athem Blue Cross. How soon are you up and going? I have two little ones and I had my hubby take 4 days off during memorial weekend. Not sure if that is enough?
