Good luck to you! Although, I'm sure you don't need it. I had my band placed on the 23rd. I am doing ok, pain about a 3. Went ahead and went to my monthly support meeting (I was bored and hadn't had any pain meds yet, so what the heck) Stopped at a casino on the way home and made $150., but was dragging at about a 5 (on the scale) by the time I got home, so NOW I am appreciating the meds. lol. Been burping alot, but think that is normal with getting rid of the gas.

Let us know how you make out.

Home from hospital today. Feel great no meds, just back pain, I think it is from the gas not passing. All the nurses were great keeping me from vomitting . I got real sick from the anesthesia. I am not hungry yet but am eating my two ounces over the 30 min period, it's hard. also hard getting down the Protein Drink . Milk tetc... thanks for the posts.

Thanks for the info regarding right after your surgery. I'm scheduled for next Wed and am nervous. I didn't think I would be but the closer it gets, the more I am!

Keep us posted on your progress!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
