Finally in the BANDED CLUB!!! :)
Today was .... interesting.
I am BANDED! I'm in little pain so that's a great thing, I cant bear a lot of pain. The most pain was my throat near my heart because of the tube they put there while I was under.
It was interesting to get the idea what's it like to be under... I cant remember the moment I went under. lol
I was in recovery room for about 2 hours until I finally woke up. It was SOOO hard to wake up, I kept falling asleep lol
My incisions are not bad, one of them (I think the port site) bled through the sterile strips. i was shocked to see how small they were.
The worst thing I went through is the swallow test. The barium is sooo GROSS, I felt like I was gonna throw up! But good thing is I passed it. Then I was released to go home after that. I went home around 6:30pm.
I didnt have any gas til about 2 hours ago. so I went to the grocery store with my hubby and walked around the store. I got gas meds, and some pads because I got my period today (just wonderful!) and some SF Popsicles. My throat has been dryyy all day and I keep sipping water all day.
My darling has been sooo supportive all day for me. Thank god for him!!!
I am scared to go to bed because I wasn't sure how painful it would be because I tend to toss around sometimes throughout the night. I will probably pack 2 pillows in between.
I'm getting sleepy (from the pain meds) I'll be posting more this week.
Laters!
GOOD LUCK to those getting banded tmw, & this week! You'll do fine! :confused:
Here's a picture of my stomach...
