Hey guys! I got home late last night. Banded on Friday. Me, my mom and my DH got to the hospital in NYC at 5:30 am for my 7:30 am sugery. They had me booked as gastric bypass, but my doc knew he was doing lapband. Thank g-d, but all the paper work kept saying bypass so it was kinda scary. Things went really well! I was in the recovory room for 2 hours though cause they said I wasnt taking a deep breath my oxygen was too low. I was on oxygen the whole time I was in the hospital and had to use a one of those asthma treatment machines with the smoke coming out I forgot what it is call. Had to do 5 of those. I was told i was going to go home between 1 and 2 pm yesterday and had to have and upper GI between 8 and 9 am first. I didnt have my UGI until 12 and we were waiting for the results for very long. I had to wait for that and then I could finally drink. Once I drank they would take out my cathider and if I urinated I could go home. I would have eight hours to do so. So the UGI game out negative and they let me drink, but there was somthing wrong with my blood test. So, they had to do another later. Everytime I saw the doc he was like y do you still have your cathider in. The dumb nurse kept saying she didnt have the order. well anyways she took it out and I urinated right away thank g-d. We finally got the blood test results back at like 5:30. I got dischared around 7 pm they gave me a happy shot before we left my DH and i were soooooooooooo tired. The ride home was sooooo rough! I felt like when you are drunk and you have to pee. It hurt so much! We had to stop twice to use the bathroom. We went to CVS to get my pain meds since that was the only thing open. I waited for that while my DH wen to get wonton Soup for him and broth for me. we ate I took my pain meds and passed right out. Best sleep last night I had gotten in a long time. At the hospital I only got 4 hours sleep total, all I wanted to do was walk. The doc was happy and said keep walking. I let my DH sleep in the room while I walked he needed the rest and I had the nurses lol. Today was good. I had for chicken broth for Breakfast. I had squash soup for lunch. I had to do two oz. of soup with two oz. of Water. I didnt know how thick it was. My mom and dad came over. They brought lunch for DH and when food shopping for things I didnt know I would want or need. I walked in the morning and then again with my mom. I want to walk now but it is raining :girl_hug:. For dinner I had my first Protein shake and it was soooooooooo good. I have been hungery the whole time. Dosent really bother me though. I have sips of things and it goes away for like 5 mins. The gas hurts, but when I get up and walk it goes away and I am find. my insitions moved so much. in the hospital my port was right under my left breast. when i woke up this morning everything had come down so much. even mike (dh) was like what the hell. I guess the swelling has gone down some now though. Sorry about the long post, i'm sure there is more too. Hope everyone is doing good. My pain meds make me hyper lol. Susie

I didnt look in a booklet. I had a TT in 04' and they covered that too. It was considered medical cause I was getting rashes under the fold of skin. at the point i was down to 150 though. I had only been dateing my now husband two months then.

My hubbie would wipe my tushie too

Let me know if this helps?

Ok, Last night DH took me to Red Lobster! I had the Lobster Lovers Dream. I think this week will be a week of last supers for me. We arent going to go food shopping. Just bring home dinner. Today I am not as nervouse as I have been. My poor mommy lost her job. She was a receptionist in a law firm for 15 years. Last year her boss died and he was the head partner. Since then others have left and there are only 2 partners left so they said they cant afford to pay her anymore. She was pretty upset, but was looking for another job anyway. She is 62, but a very young 62! She may just take off and collect for now, and hope something good comes her way. Now she can come to the hospital with my DH for my sugery though! I never expected that. I was always very independant as a child so she wasnt always there for me in certain situations. (like when I was in college and went from 170-113 in 3 months from puking everyday (cough cough) she said she figured it was "my" body. Well she is 5'4, blonde hair, blue eyes, size 7 since she eats almost nothing.) Well back to reality! Sorry I ranted dont know where all that came from. Anyways 5 days till sugery ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Good Luck!:clap2:

Thanx Pam I know I'm dorkie lol. My sugery is Friday AHHHHHHHH :faint:
