I was banded today, it went well but took forever coming out of anesthesia, so the stupid damn nurses just forced me into it and practically shoved me out the door -- didn't bother to make sure I could hold down liquids.

The bad news....my mom took my daughter to the doctor for me after spending the whole morning getting me to surgery and back. My little one has swine flu. My doc knew I was having surgery so he didn't want her home with me, so my mom has her. So my little one is really sick and she wants her mama and she is so so sad. I am incredibly sore right now and stressed to the max.

i am sorry to hear that , however, my lil sis had it and with new meds out now with in a week it was gone !! she will be in my prayers just relax and rest !!! everything will work out !! awill

thank you awill...it's just that I am the mom -- hard to turn the care of my child over to someone else, even my parents.

My doctor called me this morning to check on me... that was nice. I have been much more impressed with him than the surgical center. (although, I have to say, the anesthesia guy sure smelled good!)
