i am banded

[julia in bath]

Hi everyone,
I'm home and am banded!

went down at 9am yesterday morning, was out cold by 9.30 and in recovery by 10.45. i woke up retching and had terrible hiccups which hurt my belly like hell so i was given a bit of extra pain relief.
Back in my room i was really pleased to see my OH and eldest daughter waiting for me. The nurses were brill, and as i had 3 bags of fluid through a drip i never really felt too thirsty. Had barium xray at 8.30 this morning and was given the ok to go home.
I only had water from op until i got home at 11.40 today, i have now tried bovril, sugar free squash and a coffee. all seems ok.
I'm in a little bit of pain, hard to get up/down and am very full of wind, wish i could just have a good old guff!! but really not too bad pain wise.
can't think of much else to report yet sure it'll come to me later so watch this space lol
