:eek: I finally got banded yesterday, got up around 4:30am, left around 5am, with my dad. Arrived at the hospital, wnet striaght to my room, had to change in the hospital gown. The worst part of the whole thing for me was getting an IV, since I never had an IV, it was kinda hard for me, but this lady named Crissy tried to help me by distracting me and talking about her lapband she had lost 100 pds with in a year and she looks great. But soon after the IV was not as bad as I was making it. So then going on to the room where they get me ready to go in to surgery, I was number 2 on Dr. Speigel lists, so i was happy to get in and get out of there. It was cold in this room so they gave me another blanket, then the anesthia lady gave me some drugs then they rolled me in the surgery room, i had to move over to the other bed and all of a sudden i don't remeber anything else. I woke up in the recovery room, they called my name and i woke up, then they asked me from 1-10, 10 being the worst how was the pain i said about a 3-4, the guy gave me some pain medicine. Then i was rolled in to another room, then my dad came and got me, i had wonderful doctors, they said i recovered rather quickly, i had to walk around a couple times, it really hurted getting up the first time but my nurse james helped me, i also had to take a breathing machine home, i till have not made it to the mark but i will get there.

Right now i am in mild pain, yesterday evening i got out with my step mom and sister at the store and bought so soups that were clear liquids so i can sip on them today, i have so much to tell but i am tired so i will return a little later.
