According to my nurses, everything went well. However I did tell the anaesthesia that I was very sensative to the drugs. they make me hurl. So after a quick outpatient surgery I was sent home. Only to land myself back in the hospital that night. I couldn't stop throwing up, which worried us because of band slippage. The doctors said it was due to ...the anaesthesia!!! The hospital releases me the next day but now I can't get rid of this constant left shoulder pain. This surgery did not make me very happy, and I can't stand pain. :thumbup:
This is week three post surgery and everything is going well. I've lost about a pound and a half a week since surgery, which is fine by me.
I think that most of my friends expected there to be a more radical weightloss. :thumbup: Like they were going to wheel me out looking like Barbie.
I've dumped about half of my closet, going from a size 22 to 18 in a matter of weeks really surprised me.
I want to be honest. The first week absolutely sucked. I had so much shoulder pain, and throwing up from the anesthesia it was rediculous. I hate to complain, but a little heads up on the doctors part might have made me feel like I wasn't being set up.:thumbup:
I was also surprised that after having my insurance to spend $16,000 on the surgery that there was little to no follow up from such a major medical group. Don't get me wrong, they are nice and all. But seriously, they could have called at least once:confused:. My friend says they just take your money and run.
Ok enough. I have my first post meeting tonight , entitled "Why we get stuck". lol
