To bring my journal up to date I need to start at the beganing, I need to go back to January 4, 2005.......

 

Jan. 4, 2005 ~ I went in to Dr. Smith's office for a consult about the Lap Band. I was very excited and couldnt wait to get it. Dr. Smith explained the Band to me, I weighed in and that was all.

I did not have to do any test no X-rays, no blood work, no EKG. I did though have to go thourgh a Psych. Evaluation and talk to a Dietician. I found someone in Alb. to do my Psych Evaluation, she didn't know anything about the band so I told her everything I knew of it and I guess I passed . The Dietician was in CO so she called me over the phone and we talked for about 30mins to 45mins. And I was all done.

They origanlly put me down for March 13, 2005 to get the band. But money and time did not permit. So I waited until April 28, 2005. I went on a 10 day liquid diet pre-op and that was very hard for me. I think I lost 15 pounds. The morning of April 28, 2005 It was snowing in CO and I was in shorts Brrrrrr. I went in got my paper work done waited for the blood thiners to kick in... and that was it. I was under. I woke up and the first thing out of my mouth was "Am I Skinny Yet?" hahaha

I spent the night in the hospital that night and then went to a hotel room until that following Monday. I went in to see my Dr. That Monday I was complaining of numbness on the out side of my tummy. My Dr. said "Oh I might have cut a neve Sorry!" Oh is that all... :Banane59:

I went home and healed up.

 

I dont want this post to be so long its hard to read..... So...:bored

To Be Continued.......
