Well i got banded yesterday! yay for me but blah on the sick feling i have!

I didnt even see my doctor...i was knocked out before he came in and woke up with 3 or 4 nurses around me in a recovery room...that was kinda scary...but i am doing good. I had an outpatient surgery so I was in recovery for about 4-5 hours and then got released and we had a hotel room since my hospital was almost 3 hours away so i went back to the hotel room to relax more...i'm home now though and doing good.

Got some Jello down today and can start on full liquids on saturday :smile2:

i'm not having any gas at all...but my chest has been hurting a little.

Im having trouble with my 2 and 4 year old jumping on me :smile2: They dont understand that my tummy hurts when they do that.

Sooo I am a nurse and I tell all my laproscopic patients to walk walk walk and elevate your feet above your chest to help alleviate the gas pains. Usually works.....my husband just said so when your whining do I remind you of that....I said yep I will try to take your advice. I am so glad you are all doing well. I cant wait.

Walk walk walk, sleep sleep sleep and burp burp burp!

Heat works too - and pain relief. It will pass! I have no gas pains now - and its been 36hrs since I was banded. Sore tummy though, but its the prodding around in there not the gas pains now.

I must say I slept well last night, but Its 620am and I am up...I couldn't take the shoulder/back pain anymore...So i came downstairs, hoping that today will be a better day!
