Sandybells 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Boy do I hurt! Thanks Penni for making my pictures smaller. Doc said he had an easy time of doing the surgery. He could have fooled me! I stayed over night because my potasium level was low. This can only get better. Please Please Please! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chameleon 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Yeah for Sandy....I'm jealous...still waiting on my surgery date!! Don't worry the pain should go away in a couple of days, if it's anything like the other surgeries I've had for other stuff the Gas sucks the worst and when that's gone it's such a relief that the rest doesn't even bother you!!

gentlespirit 1 Posted February 26, 2006 Congratulations on getting your band! As everyone has said, it really does get better! The gas was the worst for me, too, but it got much better after about the 4th or 5th day. Just hang in there~ Emily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
