male only D-Day + 1

Had the surgery yesterday (Friday). So far everything is as predicted. Pain pretty much under control, wish I could say the same for the gas. I am also used to sleeping on my stomach which I thought would be a problem. It is, but sleeping on my side seems to be ok although I slept about four hours last night (time right now is 4 am!). The nurse told me I should burp when possible but have not been able to except for one mealy mouse lady-like belch.:hurray: Have not eaten solids in 34 hours and surprisingly I am not hungry. Have been sipping Water and OJ. For dinner last night, bullion. Bottom line - everything is ok. Oh yea, port was placed above belt line. I am a teacher and will try to go to school on Monday. Thats it guys and gals.

Sound's like thing's are coming right along for you. Hope your not pushing it to much going back on Monday???

Good luck, Steve

Welcome to the site and congrats on your band. I hope you feel ok to go back so soon. I took three weeks to get used to the new lifestyle and heal from surgery. I know not everyone can take that much time, but Mon. is a little soon. Best of luck, Donna
