Lap Band out at 11

[southernlady]

I'm home and I think I'm alive. Really really sore.... But the stabbing pain in my back is gone.... Thought that was from working over a desk all day and not my band. I didn't get to keep my band and port... The surgeon said she had to send it to pathology. Bummer! I was told I could be on a normal diet but I don't dare eat anything beyond yogurt and mushy stuff. Even though I feel like crap is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I don't have any of the carbon dioxide shoulder pain. So.... I'm one step closer to getting my DS yayyyyy!!! Thank you so much for all the support everyone..... It really means a lot!!

Glad you are home, now HEAL by sipping, walking, resting, REPEAT.

I'm so glad that the stabbing pain is gone. Sounds like you're doing quite well - great to hear! I'm surprised that you're home so quickly but really, being in the hospital is no doggone fun and it's much easier to take it easy at home. All the best to you!

Awesome news Amey! Hopefully your recovery goes smoothly.

So glad you're home and it sounds like you're doing very well considering how much needed to be done to remove band, tubing and port. Just take it easy, stay hydrated, and let your body heal. This is a big step forward towards better health.
