Hoppy5 5 Posted April 14, 2015 I had mine done April 9. I got there at 8:30 started the pre-op at about 8:50. The people were AWSOME I couldn't of ask for better. I was wheeled in about 9:40. They put me under next thing I know I'm waking up in recovery about 11:00. I got up went to the restroom. I left about 12:00. I got home sat in my recliner and watched movies. I took my pain meds every 4 hrs on the dot I never missed. I walked for 5-10 minutes every 90 minutes until I went to bed at 11:00 that night I sipped on ice that night. The next morning I got up at 7:00 and basically did the same routine until five that night. I did switch to more Water and chewed on ice. I then went for a short trip to wal-mart just to walk. I had the pressure calf machine for clots on whenever I was sitting. I was sore but pain was minimal. I stayed on my meds and walked religiously. I sipped water the whole time I spent the whole weekend at my sons four baseball games sipping water and finally shakes walking taking my pain meds. I don't think it could have went any better. My experience so far has been great. I've been leaning on a friend who is banded for six years. He may change his number I call so often. lol Hang on there it's the start of a big process. As I tell myself baby steps didn't get here overnight not gonna fix it overnight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HollyChick 8 Posted April 14, 2015 Surgery is April 21st! I'm doing liquids this week and it is KILLER. The urge to eat something is awful.

ambieambs 54 Posted April 14, 2015 I had my surgery April 1st. It really has not been too bad. Most of my pain is left side when I am moving certain ways like sitting down or getting up. The hardest part about the food was the mental cravings. I see advertising or other people eating so I want it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
