How did your recovery go? Did you stay overnight in the hospital or go home?

It went really well actually. It was outpatient so I was at the hospital for a total of about 5.5 hours. Pain was pretty minimal, the worst was sleeping. I'm a side or belly sleeper so that was an adjustment. I was off work for 4 weeks (work at UPS) but so far I have only lost 14 pounds. I didn't have any restriction afterward so I could eat about half of was I was eating before. Now since my fill Friday I've noticed a lil but of a difference so hopefully I'll start losing more. I got 4cc put in my band.

Are you getting nervous? Do you have a preop diet? That was bad for me as well because I do not like the Protein Shakes at all. Hah

I am a little nervous. They make us stay overnight in the hospital. The only Protein Shakes I like are the Atkins shakes. They are really good. I start the pre op Diet on Monday and my surgery is on the 20th. I am super excited but a little nervous.

Oh really. I wander why some make you do the overnight stay and some is outpatient. I'm glad I got to go home though. It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be at all! Someone else has told me about the Atkins shakes as well. I might have to try some. I just like having the Protein Shake in the mornings before I goto work since I'm always in a rush. Hah.

Norton's say its because they want to make sure there are no complications before they send you home. I have never spent the night in a hospital, but oh well. Yeah those Atkins shakes save me tons of time because I am always running late for work in the morning! Lol

Dr Allen did my revision in May & I had to stay over night, it wasn't bad. The staff at Nortons were great to me. Good Luck to you
