Day of Surgery, 12/8/08

I have made it, I'm there. A few more hours and I will be a December Bandit. Please don't let anything stop this. I am desperate for this life change...

8:05 a.m. - Well, it's done. I' banded and I'm happy. My nurses have been wonderful all night and the care I have received has been top notch. It seems like every few minutes they were in here last night checking me. My blood pressure was somewhat of a problem, it stayed between 84/40 all night. Luckily, I was in ICU and was watched constantly. My doctor has been in o see me and he said all went well with my surgery. He fixed my Hiatal Hernia while he was in there and that I can go home soon, probably by lunch.   10:00 a.m. - The bariatric nurse has been in here already and has discussed everything I need to go home. Jerry isn't here yet, so she called him and he was in the lobby. He had to go home last night because he snores and he was afraid of keeping me awake. I'm so glad I have done this. I have to drink an ounce of fluid before I can go home so they can make sure I don't get sick.   11:40 - I'm fixing to roll outta here. Jerry is helping me change, we are going home. Yeah!   2:00 - I'm home, home sweet home. Couch here I come!   On the way out to the car I stopped and waited for Jerry to get the car. Me and one of nurses were sitting in the lobby and I heard my name, I looked over at the visitors station and there were a couple of ladies trying to find me in the system. I had flowers from Tony Seifred. How sweet he remembered. Luckily, I heard my name and got them.   Anyway~ it's nap time.

I have slept a lot today. Poor Jerry is being so patient with me. I'm a handful at times and when I want something I want it NOW, no waiting. I need to be more patient. Jerry is an angel, he has been to the grocery store, washed all the clothes, taken care of all of Will's needs, fixed my meds, water, jello, you name it he has done it. Thank you Jerry.:rolleyes2:

I officially want to die today. My body hurts, my stomach especially. I'm nauseas, irritable, and plain out miserable. I'm sure this is normal. I called my doctor because mama came over yesterday and as soon as she got home, she started throwing up/diarrhea, I called them because I'm afraid I have the virus. They called me in some medicine because they said I can't get sick or that may mess up my band. Jerry has gone to get my meds. Robert is here and spent a few hours with me. We had a nice visit. Will told me tonight that he can tell I'm losing weight already. Thank you Will, u make my day and my life. :rolleyes2:

Today has been great. Me and Jerry got up early, went to the mall, Toys R Us, Ollie's, and I can't remember where else. We had a great day. Got home just in time to unload the car so Jerry could go out and get W. The evening consisted of me taking a nap, and shopping some more online. A great day, I'm really tired. Good night~:rolleyes2:

Almost There

I'm so excited. I only have eleven more days until surgery. I'm on the pre-op diet and to be honest, it's easier than a lot of other diets I've been on. I'm the most excited about never "dieting" again. A healthy lifestyle is my purpose. I want to be healthy for my family but I must get my family on board. My boys eat terribly, I've got to change that. Anyway~going to bed. I'm sleepy.   :confused:
