Had my lapband surgery at 7:15am on Thurdsday, April 10, 2008. Got released from the hospital on Friday the 11th at 5:00pm. On my 1 oz clear liquids every 15 minutes using my little timer they gave me! No pain meds and feeling good! Tummy is a little swollen by the 6 holes from the laprascopic instruments, but that's expected. The worse one is where the port is located. Otherwise doing great! Now my husband has gastric bypass on April 21st. He's next to take the big change. We're doing it together!
