dawner119 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Hi, all - Just wanted to pop in and let you know my surgery on Tuesday went fine, I had some compliactions afterwards with (really bad) back pain and I wasn't able to sleep until last night, but I feel a lot better today. Just a bit tight (and sore) in the front and some nausea still. Not awful, though. I figure what can the average person really excpect 40 hours post op? I know some people are out and about like normal after their surgeries, but I can't assume it's the norm. I'm hoping I'll feel up to walking around the mall later on, maybe have some Soup at a restaurant for dinner and then get ready to go home tomorrow, my flight from Mexico to Washington DC is in the afternoon. I hope it's not too uncomfortable! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poster child 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Congratulations! I was banded on Monday and am feeling well. I stopped all pain meds, have been getting in my Protein liquids and now I am bored being at home! Good luck on the flight home! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dawner119 0 Posted May 12, 2006 thanks, all - I fly home from Mexico tomorrow... nearly 8 hours in airports and airplanes. In coach. Ugh. I'm hoping to get a good night sleep to bone up for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
