Banded for two days now!

[soundlogik 28]

I'm on the other side woo!! The last two days were pretty hard, I have not had anything to drink besides a few drops of juice which was very painful. This is because there was a minor complication during surgery that left the band site exceptionally swollen, they tell me tomorrow should be a lot better.. We shall see. Watching tv in my hospital room has been a nice little vacation, especially with all these meds

I'll post again with an update soon.

Yikes! Hopefully things get better tomorrow and the swelling goes down.

I had my surgery this morning and starving on the Water day and looking forward to having some juice tomorrow, hope that goes ok.

Hope you are feeling better soon! I had a difficult time for about 5 days after my surgery due to swelling but it got much better very quickly after that.

Hang in there. I am six days out and off pain medication for 3 days and am very pleased. The Soups and shakes are getting boring so I am looking forward to being able to eat real food again.

I assume you're getting fluids intravenously so you're not really dehydrating?

Update: I managed to get a glass of Water down with no problem. If I can keep juice and beef broth down then they will release me today. Yes 2muchfun I was on IV fluids along with some anti-inflammatories for my stomach. Time for my juice and skim milk! Wish me luck.
