Well, I'm BANDED! Everything went really well. I had an overnight stay in the hospital, but, that's normal for my suegeon. I've hardly eaten ANYTHING the past 2 days, but, then, I'm not hungry either. I just keep sipping my Water every 15 minutes. There's not a WHOLE lot of pain. I've only had to take pain meds for it twice, one yesterday and one today after I got home. So, now begins the rest of my life! It's going to tak some getting used to and getting used to feeling full will be a different sensation. It'll be a learning experience!

Mine went really well. The worst part was the waiting in the pre-op room. I was scheduled for 11, but, they had me down for 1. So, that on top of a few other things, they didn't come to get me for surgery until about 12:45. I remember getting to OR, moving to a different table and then the mask coming over my face and then I was waking up in recovery. I was up and walking around last night. I have very little pain. I've had to take pain meds only twice, but, I think I'll take one tonight before bed, JUST in case. Everything went REALLY well. I haven't eaten much the past 2 days, but, then, I also haven't really been hungry. I've been doing my best to sip my 1 oz of Water every 15 minutes and that helps a lot. Now to just get walking and try to get al the bloating out of my system! This was really a pretty smooth procedure and I'm SO glad that I did it and that it's over now and I can move forward with a few projects!

Thanks for the response, I am a little nervous about it. It helps to hear your story. One week to go and I will be close to where you are now. Just being nervous now I find that I am not to hungry at this point. I have had other abdominal surgeries in the past including open gallbladder removal and an abdominal plasty about 11 years ago. I remember it not being so bad. I know the worst part for me is waking up, I really hate that and having people poke at you and it always seams like they are yelling for some reason. I am ready for it and have the meds and things ready to go. I just need the date to roll around. I have been watching some of the videos from utube they don't seam to bad. My biggest fear at this point is the hungry feeling after this is all done. This is part of my reason for doing this, I am always hungry and can always eat. They tell me that this will help with that. Stay in touch.. and take care, get some rest Donna
