Penney Doss

THANKS FOR THE REPLY! I am still nervous a littel but calmer somewhat than before. I have read some pretty bad horror stories on here and I can tell you the flipping of the port, the slipping of the band and the erosion is a little scary....Anybody had that happen yet?:help:

Hello, My name is Penney I am a lesbian..My life partner Kim and I have been together for nearly 5 years. I am so glad to have found this thread. I can get support from my GLBT family too. Love it! Anyways I am 28 years old and on January 9,2008 I will be banded in Texarkana Texas...I am nervous, scared, and excited all in one...I could just totally barf right now from nerves..I have waited 2 years for approval and for a surgery date. Got one and passed all pre-op blood work and only 4 days to go..Yikes! But to anyone that has had the surgery. I do have a few questions. If anyone has the time to answer them.. First off.. Right after you wake up from the surgery How bad is the pain? Is there alot of discomfort? and How long till it goes away?...I hate pain. I am a baby sometimes... But then again I went through wrist surgery with not one pain pain pill...Geeez.....Can't wait to meet all of you on here, hope everyone is doing well.....

I am 5ft. 9in I am shrinking though..lol.. I am glad you replyed. Having others to go through this with helps out alot. I wish you the very best.
