[health4life 0]

I was scheduled for surgery at 2; arrived at 1. I was prepped for surgery, my husband came in and kissed me and off to the surgery room we went. Once we got in there they asked me to get over onto another bed/table, put a mask over my face and told me to take deep breaths. Next thing I rembember I was waking up with a device inside me called a lapband. I took pain meds., ate some ice chips, walked across the room to a comfy chair, my husband came in, they gave me my clothes to change into and we left and went to our hotel just before 5 P.M. I had broth, diluted juice and Water for the next 48 hours. My husband was shocked when 15 min. after he kissed me, the surgeon was coming out to tell him he was done and I did great. To date it's been 8 days and I'm doing well. You'll do just fine. You might want your dad to stay with you; I would. According to how I felt, I wouldn't have minded visitors if I had to stay the night. You will want to take comfy loose clothing that doesn't rub your belly due to your incisions. I wore a loose sundress with flip flops. Best wishes.
