im writing u this from my hospital bed cause im still here. i had surgery mon.23rd 2011 and got really sick with anest. and pain meds. it caused me to be exstremly dizzy and vomitting. today is the first time i was able to walk and get sum of this gas moving. o my gosh, the gas was killing my shoulders,neck and chest from the pressure. the surgery went well and i have hardly no pain. i have only been on teylenol for pain and it is more than enough. good luck to everyone. and thank you for the support. im going home today. yepeeee!!!

I was banded on 1/23/12 as well. I actually had a lot of pain post op. A lot of nausea as well. No vomiting. Released on Tuesday. Right now 1/4 cup of liquids every hour. It's hard to sip so little liquid so slowly when I am so dehydrated. Otherwise, no complaints. Nervous, because I really want to do well. I want to be a success story. Today for the first time it hit me how much I had a love affair with food. How much it consumed my daily plans...without food I have so much more to think about. Oh well...I am more excited. I can't wait to be fully healed so I can start exercising as well.
