MiniMi 1,468 Posted December 4, 2012 I'm happy to report that surgery went very well. I went into surgery at 9. Woke up around 10:30 from anesthesia and left to go home at 12. I've been able to lay in my bed on either side and sleep for and hour and a half at a time. I've been walking around a lot in between naps. I have no gas pains. My pain in my stomach just feels like I did a bunch of sit-ups. I'm also tolerating drinking fluids well and have had nausea. I hope the rest of the day continues this well. I have no regrets! So glad your surgery went well. The gas is by far the only discomfort I felt. Congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike65 47 Posted December 4, 2012 Just getting familiar with this forum. Someone responded before about some book. They appeared to be trying to convince me that Lapband was bad. The post is gone. Was it removed by an administrator? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banjo257 920 Posted December 5, 2012 Hope everyone is doing well at their present stage: preop, postop, recovering, etc. Can't wait for Dec 17th! In case anyone hasn't gotten this tip, remember to bring Chapstick to the hospital. 1 kazjim98 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My surgeon has had me start my pre-op liquid diet yesterday. 600-800 calories a day only liquids.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
