I can't believe everyone forgot and I think that I am probably the oldest banded person here. Once you are awake enough they will walk you to an xray machine to have you drink something to be sure it goes down good, unless they don't have you do that anymore.
I was sent home pretty quickly since everything was good to go with a pillow and a bag of ice for the port area.
You really should be okay and don't worry. You will be sore afterwards probably from the gas that you may have from the anesthesia. Walk a slow pace and that should help.
