Questions for Lap Banders--THANKS in advance!!

I am coming up on 11 days till my lap band surgery and am really starting to feel like I don't have a clue as to what I will encounter after surgery. what is the hospital stay like? Will I be in much pain? Will I be exhausted for days? Weeks? Just looking for some general information so I can try to prepare myself for what I should expect. My doctor said I will be on Nexium after surgery and Roxicet for pain. Never have taken either one. If anyone could offer any advice, I'd appreciate it. I keep reading the instructions as to what I can and cannot do after surgery and I still feel like I know nothing!! Thanks! Lisa : -)
