Glad the op went well, and you are home safe and well hun:D
 
Great you'll enjoy the next bit, losing masses of weight, I hurt lying down but try supporting your stomach with a pillow on the side of it and lower yourself on to your side, then keep the pillow supporting you stomach.:happy096:
 
so glad everything went well,take things easy and keep us all posted as you go along..orchid x
 
Congrats on getting through surgery so well & glad to hear you are home safe and sound. Take it easy & drink plenty of fluids. Keep us updated on your progress when you feel up to it!
 
Well done you and all good wishes for a speedy recovery.

Just a little bit of advice, you should be on liquids only at least for a few days...the band needs to settle before you try real food.

Hope all goes well.:)
 
Glad your safely back home Kee, I will look forward to reading about your success now, good luck chucks. x
