Despite a long wait at the hospital my surgery went well. Although I was a bit unhappy at having to wait all day for my operation I actually quite enjoyed laying around and relaxing. The nurse came at around 3pm and asked me to shower and get changed into my gown etc. At 5pm the long awaited knock on my door came. It was much better walking to theatre and I was suprised at how relaxed I was. As I entered the operating room there were around 8 people milling around. They all said hello to me, then the Doc asked me to lay on the bed, he was chatting all the time to me. He put a needle in the back of my hand then siad he was going to give me some oxygen. The next thing I knew they were waking me up in the recovery room. Ive been fitted with a small band and an initial 3ml fill. I was taken back to my room and slept like a baby! I slapt almost upright as they said it would help with the gas. The nurse kept coming in to take my blood pressure and temperature. At 5.30pm they woke me up and asked if I wanted a cup of coffee, music to my ears! I got up and had a look at my incisions. I expected my tummy to be far more bloated, but it didnt really look any different. I felt as if I had done a 1000 sit ups, other than that the pain was ok, my tummy felt hot and burning. My coffee arrived Oh the smell was bliss! I didnt know what to expect when I drank it. It didnt feel any different to before, I made an effort to drink it slowly. I was told that I was being discharged at 7am, wow they don't mess around I guess time is money to them. They then brought me a yoghurt for breakfast OH YUMMY not! I ate a little bit of it, but strawberry is not my favourite. I then drank some more coffee, big mistake! I could feel I was going to be sick and sure enough one big burp and the coffee came back up. Finally arrived home with all of my literature bit confused as to what I can eat for the next 2 weeks on my liquid only diet.
