The next day it was 90 out but i was shivering wereing long sleaves and swetter winter socks and winter shoes.and called the DR they said go back to the hospital that told me not to come back I said no it did not work like that I did not want to just go and be relsed and they did not want me to come back. So i made an apppointment to go there office . After two hours and two diffent floors they saw me. I had a fever of 101.9 and i wight 199 I would have cryed if i was not so dizzy and naunses and felling like i wanted to die. the dr takes one look at me and said you need to be in a hospital I said i would not go back to were i went last night She said were did you have your band done. I said the Great dr jones did it at Beth Israeral in boston, She said well i think you need to go back there. I said okay I had asked my mother for a ride and she gave me a long lecture about how we would wait for ever and ever and i made a mistake and how she was so mad at me.

Dr Odesky held my hand the whole way up to the floor she also made sure that i was postioned on my left side she said rember side becuse she rembered that i had back pain. She also waited till i was less doped up by my bed side she said i fixed it nothing by mouth till latter then stage 1 for a few hours then 2 again till morning okay.

with in a few hours i was ready to go up and walking drinking till i got lose bowl movents from hell spent most of the night in pain and cramping but dr odseky came up and made sure i be okay

By the next day Dr jones came back to cheek one me he said Laura I alway love you play by all the rules and you still buck the systum. He said how much have you lost now i said about 43 lbs. He said well your on lquid for the next 3 week i expect to see 20 more off he said you be skinny by then. I laughed and said and tryed to play lets make a deal for 1 and 1/2 weeks He said no 3 weeks I said i give you two her said I give you 3. I said your mean he said look your ephougous is very sollown and enfalmed it going to take some time for the pain to go away anyways as well as the swelling and i want to make sure you relly need that fill and were going slowly He like you have no idea how lucky you are.

I said by the way Dr odeskey she a much better felllow then the last guy. He laughed and said yea she pretty found of you too now get back to being better will you He like your going to have to tell Dr odseky about the thing you do body what ever that you keep trying to drag me to, I said Body pump and your just scard i kick your butt at it and I can lift more then you can. He laughed he said you can also tell her how at two weeks you con me into letting you do it again I said yea by 3 weeks i was at abs class i just did not tell you I figered since you gave me the okay for body pump why not. He like i see you in 3 full weeks be good stay out of trobble and get better for god sake no more kidney infections and vomiting so hard.

my nutty room mate truned out to be a sweet old lady once they got her meds readjusted. She keeped trying to feed me and i had to say no alot. I had my nurse tell her i can't eat and showed her my protine drink and said this is her food. I so wanted the french frises she was eating too. It was funny i said to her CNA i want food so baddy I would kill to be able to chew. She said how long are you going to go with out eating I said i am on a full lquid deit for 3 weeks then i can go get a fill have 2 more days of lquid 3 days of Mushy and then real food.

So lquid it is I just have to live with it and be thankful that all my vomiting did not to more damage then it did. Things i am thankful for my family my the great nurse and fellow my own bed good antibotics and the fact i can sollow my own spit and good pain meds.

So 3 weeks of the lquid deit is is. then i can be refilled lucky i still have my band and i am very sore in my kidneys and my ephougous but plan to be better so
