Hello all,
I had my surgery on Monday. I live in Gainesville FL. My Dr is Ben-David. Ben is not his 1st name and I can't remember now what it is. Very nice man. I started the process in Nov. I had to have a sleep study done which I knew I would fail. I refused to go on CPAP. I had to stay overnight in the hospital, which was fine except that I had this elderly woman who became confused and combative. Finally at 3 AM I told the charge nurse I couldn't take it anymore and if she could please move me. MY roommate was moved....:thumbup: My biggest complaint since I remember being concious is this pain in my upper back. I was told it was referred pain. I have read several posts and it sounds like it is pretty common. MY insicions don't really bother me. I have been up and about pretty easily now and have been driving since thursday. Diet is ok. I don't feel hungry. I try to take a shower when the rest of my family is eating.
Someone said to me today that if I was on a liquid diet and was going to be doing that for the next couple weeks what's the point of the band...............I wanted to strangle her :wink:
