Officially Banded

Had a rough night before heading to the city to check in for surgery. I havent had a dream of my deceased grandmother in years. She was a RN and a DON who I respect she told me in the dream that she didnt think it was a good idea. Just great. I aldready had fears of not waking up. I do have an over active imagination. Thank goodness it was just my mind playing tricks on me as I went to bed nervouse and apprehensive about surgery.

As you can see I woke up lol.

Had some concerns cause anesthisia makes me vomit but they loaded me up with medicine not to vomit.

I am so sore. I am amazed at how much I used my stomach muscles to do every day movements like getting up from a reclining position or getting up from a seated position.

I guess work through the pain.

Theres a little bleeding from the incision sites(5) but they said that was normal.

Not interested in eating.

Too much trauma to want to. So far had one serving jello and one cup clear broth and some apple juice.

Go home tomorrow. Cant wait.

 

Check out this huge potty. Never seen one that big before

Congrats on your new start!! I have the same worries as you about not waking up!!! My other huge fear is that they will perforate my intestines or something like that!! The place I am looking at being banded does it as a day surgery. You get banded in the early AM and go home in the late afternoon. That kind of alarms me.....do you have any thoughts on that?? I noticed you said you were ready to get home, so that made me wonder if maybe it wouldn't be so bad to go home.

Good luck!!!

Marie, the worrier

I wouldnt bealramed Marie. I had surgery this morning at 8 am woke up around 12 and was dismissed around 2. I have to stay in a local hotel so I would be comfortable and close just in case something happened. I live 2.5 hours from the Surgical center. So now I am trying to rest. Very difficult to move but am confident I will be fine. So will you. I am staying close over night just in case. Good luck Marie. Keep me posted.
