Thanks for all the prayers! My surgery went very well! Actually got moved up to first surgery of the day - so they rushed me through pre-op stuff. No time to get nervous :) No nausea (love Zofran) and no narcotic pain reliever either- just extra strength Tylenol, Meds for stomach cramping and PPI worked wonderfully. Up and walking within an hour out of recovery. Barium swallow was good - but yucky tasting. Kept down liquids 2nd day - one oz. at a time. Two nights stay in hospital. Had a great night's sleep last night - in my own bed. Up and around, walking, sipping ... incisions bruised and a little sore ... but feeling great!

Since I was a revision, I'm still in the hospital. I should be going home by Monday Keeping liquids down. Don't like Multivitamin they are giving me. Yuk. But take it anyways. I'm glad you are doing so well.

I had a VBG in 1994. It was a type of WLS surgery that isn't really practice anymore because it doesn't work. (Vertical banded gastroplasty)

Yes I know many people that had this surgery , stomach stapling , now they have replaced it with the lapband it's less invasive .
