Solson8201 & utkscvol1- Glad to hear you ladies are both doing good and are home. My prayers are with you that you continue to feel good. I am just a few hours behind you... ready' date=' but nervous.[/quote']

Good luck Time4Kim!! You'll do great! The folks at Memorial Hospital were awesome, so no worries :-) Can't wait to hear from you.

So, three of us tomorrow, right? Good luck to us all. So glad to hear that the other that have gone in the past week are doing well. Love to hear the "easy" recovery stories! Wishing easy recoveries for all of us! I'm just anxious to get started. I want to get past the "anything through a straw" phase and mushy food phase. Ready for the journey to begin.

I was told to use ice the first 24 hours to reduce swelling and help with gas. Just an FYI - cvs has an ice pack that says peas cold therapy. Love it! It's soft and flexible and not heavy. Lays straight across my stomach. The hospital gave me 3 that I can refill but they aren't as good. I have been using them to lay across each shoulder for gas.

Solson8201- how are you feeling today?

[utkscvol1 125]

Time4kim- how did yours go today?

Solson8201- how are you feeling today?

Sore, but okay. I didn't fill the pain rx, Tylenol is good enough. Gas X is helping with the gas pains too. How about you? Getting in your fluids ok?

[utkscvol1 125]

Barely, just sipping Water here and there. Feeling a little sorer right now than earlier

[melly2513 24]

Checking in - Surgery went well. I am majorly sore right now, but it this is the worst of it, I'm okay with that. Am home and happy for that. Took some pain med and zonked out for 3 hours. No shoulder pain, but I don't think Im past that hurdle yet.

Hello thirdtimesacharm. Welcome. I am a newbie here. I was banded on June 11th. How are you feeling? How did your surgery go? How is your pain level? It is so great to have buddies on here. After all we are all the same amazing journey!

Time4kim- how did yours go today?

Everything went great, went in for surgery at 11, was home by 430. Mild pain so far, most of that being the trapped gas. Been walking a lot and sipping away on Water and Gatorade. No hunger at all.

How are you doing?

I met India yesterday, it was nice. She seemed to be doing good.
