readytogetstarted

thanks and good luck to you too...I was banded yesterday...a bit sore today but other than that doing well

thanks guys...called today...probably side effect to being put to sleep...as the day went along I am fine...a bit of coughing to clear out the throat area (which I also had last time I was put to sleep for my tubal) but other than that doing well...thanks for the advice from everyone...and I hope it was a 1 day experience and doesn't occur again...no fever and nothing going on except this morning with the nose and clots and the slight cough I've had about all day just clearing the airway out from time to time....but in general all is well

I was banded yesterday. Came home feeling ok. Sore but no pain. All went well last night...walked as much as I could and rested some. This morning I woke up needing to cough (I am figuring this is from being put to sleep and the tube in the throat). I managed to cough some without killing myself (oh coughing right now is not a good feeling) and coughed up blood clots. Then I had to blow my nose a bit later and the same blood clots coming out. I know if they are coming out it is good, but just curious if anyone else experienced this and if I should be worried. No signs of clots any where else right now. Just when I blow or cough and then they're there. Thanks....

I am new to the site. I am ready to get my life started with a healthy me. I have been 6 months waiting and working to get started and now I'm at the moment of ready to go. I started the presurgery diet today and scheduled for surgery next Tues. So many emotions and thoughts running through my head, but I am fully ready for the new stage of my life to begin.
