Officially BANDED.....
MAN WAS SURGERY EASY......AS FAST AS 1,2,3...AND I WAS DONE....
But then I woke up... haha. I woke up crying and in so much pain.....don't let me forget to mention the worse dry mouth IN THE WORLD! I started burping from the minute I woke up. AFter 2 c-sections I really thought this would be cake for me.....I really shouldn't have. I did have a rough go of it right after.
I thought I was prepared for the gas pain but I really wasn't. I keep walking and taking my gas-x but when I was trying to sleep there wasn't much way for me to get comfortable. I did attempt to lay down in my bed but that was a really bad idea. So my wonderful husband Corey said "babe, let's just sleep on the couch together." Thank the Lord for reclining couches. I actually did get some sleep after that.
When I woke up this morning I really was hurting.....but I got up and walked circles in the house anyway. And I gotta say....."keep walking it will make you feel better" is just now starting to make sense to me because it seemed like when I walked I hurt more... Now things are starting to ease up just a little.
NOW HERE IS AN UNEXPECTED CONFESSION....if I'm being honest.... Last night when the pain from the incisions and gas was at it's worse I lost it....one of the reasons I decided on the lap bad was because if something went wrong or it doesn't work that it is reversable. REALITY SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE LAST NIGHT.....even though it's "reversable" I can't just say I don't like the lap band and pull it out. It's really there....the only way to take it out is surgery. Now I know this is a where you say DUH...... me too! lol. I just did't expect that kind of reaction from myself. This is something I have wanted for years and now it's mine.......so why did I freak out.
Emotions I guess......but today I'm still glad I have been BANDED and I am really looking forward to the rest of my life. At this very moment I want to pass gas though....LOL
