marieze 5 Posted February 15, 2008 Went into the hospital yesterday and got my lapband. I was banded here in Portland by Dr. Emma Patterson at Good Samaritan Hospital. It was a great experience. They found a small hiatel hernia which was also repaired. I had a little bit of nausea but no pain or anything else. At about midnight last night I told them to stop giving me morphine as I wanted to see where I really was on the pain scale. Well, I just took Tylenol after that and haven't needed anything more! Today I've had Protein shake (Isopure), Tomato Soup, Water and some yogurt in the hospital. Not even a weird feeling. I'm probably overdoing it a bit as a couple of my incisions are oozing. Anyway, I'm getting up/down fairly well and it's good to be home. :thumbup: Marieze P.S. Guess It's time to figure out how to get a ticker! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
