I know the feeling. I was woken up at 3 as well and the discomfort from gas is the only issue I am having. Such a Headache. So now I am up walking around. Did they say when you are able to go home?

Yep, I go home on 19th. 6 nights here.

The open surgery means they keep you in longer - but the up side, no gas pain!

Wow, so you didn’t get the laparoscopic procedure.

No, this surgeon does them open only, esp when his is taking the band out too. He hand sews, not staples, and feels he gets a better result.

No real pain from incision at this point, and a scar no-one but me and mine will see, so I was ok with that.

Thanks!

48 hours after op, and just sipped 30ml Water - it all went down, which is a good sign. Pain pretty much gone- up doing little walks every 3 hours.

Way easier than I 8magined!
