Congrats on the decision and being banded. Try lip balm to stop your lips cracking, I found sleeping really hard. Nowhere is like your own bed, Partly because I was uncomfortable and really excited if finally done it. As for not being able to drink watch that. Dehydration is awful. You do need to be able to at least sip.. Hang in there good luck..

I spent the night at he hospital walking around a lot. I made 5 trips around the hospital pushing my IV drip! Best wishes and yes about the sips of Water.< /p>

Whatever you do be honest with your healthcare providers if you still can't drink/sip.. Don't just go home. I didn't have an iv at all and left really early the following morning. I forced myself to sip. Still got really dehydrated felt awful. It took me a few days to manage to rehydrate myself.. I wouldnt want you to suffer like that..

The dry mouth could be a sign of dehydration. Make yourself take tiny sips. Let your providers know, cuz if you have an IV they can turn it up. Dry mouth is also part of the anesthesia and that part should wear off.

Hope you are feeling better this morning, taking those sips and able to walk around the hospital. Some real sleep is going to feel good! Best wishes for a speedy recovery and congratulations on being on the other side now. New chapters opening!
