Hi! My surgery went very well today. They got me all ready with the IV and in my gown by 11:00 am and took me down to the operating room, which was freezing, but as soon as they "knocked me out" I woke up in the recovery room. I had the best recovery nurses. The only "painful" parts was the numbing agent for the IV which just stung a little, and It felt funny to breathe, like a good bit of pressure on my chest when I woke up but the nurses took awesome care of me and made sure I was comfortable until i got in my room. My incisions are sore but other than that I'm doing great! Already been up walkin around and sipping Water. you will do great! Try not to stress or worry about the surgery part none of it is bad enough to not get the band. I am so happy I'm staying over night. I think it makes. Difference from what I've read and now experiencing. Good luck! And I'll try to post how I feel tomorrow and so forth.

Awe I'm glad it made you smile! Here's this mornings update

Hey guys,

Just want to give you an update. Im very sore today, kind of hard to pull myself up without help but it's not unbearable thank the lord. My throat is sore due to the breathing tube, but Im not experiencing anymore trapped gas, hopefully that is all out. I've just been snoozing away and takin advantage of getting taken care of. Still sipping Water from the little medicine cups and using my little "breathing machine" I have to do 10 times every hour and cough. My blood pressure is staying on the low side but other than that, That pretty much sums the night and this morning so far. I'll keep you guys updated as things change. Thanks so much everyone for your support. I have a feeling everyone is going to do great as well!

Hi Mea

Today is my 2nd since my lap band surgery so far so good. I haven't experienced any pain from the trapped has just mainly sore. Occasionally I will get nausea but that's it. The surgery is not as bad and some make it out to be. My Dr is the best and the whole surgical team.

Just hang in there. It kinda feels like you've done 1,000 sit-ups. As each day goes by it eases up.

If you have a lap dog, say, I'm sorry before the surgery. Lol lol.
