DesertRose80 137 Posted September 29, 2012 I'm with y'all. I was banded yesterday late morning. I did wake up from anesthesia in a lot of pain, but my nurse was right there helping me with pain meds. Then I started dry heaving and she gave me a shot of Zofran. It's so wonderful to know you're not alone. We all have one another and the veteran Bandsters. 2 newme37 and NurseLydsss reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
