Lap band surgery day!
Yep, I did it! The band was put in yesterday! All went very well. I was so nervous about the IV, but they gave me a valium that morning, and then really, it wasn't bad at all. They gave me a local numbing shot before the IV, and it wasn't bad whatsoever. Then I just waited, and they wheeled me away, after some happy drugs through the IV. I remember them saying that they would be putting me under through meds in my IV and it would burn - and it sure did - but it was so fast and then I was gone. Woke up hurting, and they gave me pain meds. Then I just basically waited a few hours until I peed - their condition for going home, and then we went home. I have oxycodeine for pain and zofran for nausea, and have been taking them religiously. My port site is the most painful, and it kind of cramps up everytime I move. But water is going down just fine, and so is tea and broth and a popsicle.
