HELLOOOOOOO BANDLAND!

Well we did it!  I was banded at 9:20 yesterday & Hubby at 1:20.  Doc said both surgeries went well.  We both have 11cc Realize Bands.  I feel fine, not much gas but achy around my incisions.  I just walked Emily a half a block to her bus stop.  Hubby on the other hand is really suffering with the gas & feels rotten.  I have sipped Crystal Light since yesterday and we are taking liquid Lortab every 4 hours - that helps!  I posted our surgery story on LapBand talk if anybody wants the details. So now the Journey officially begins.......
