He'd probably let you have surgery as soon as available then. -

I do, but I make it in my shakeology and then strain it to get rid of the little tiny seeds inside.

Did you see that on The Doctors?? I was in the audience for that episode!!! I got VIP tickets w/ my family when we visited:) We got that book and the luminess airbrush makeup thing.

Congrats, Princess! I have really bad memory issues associated w/ my sleep disorder, so I can't remember when my doctor said I can start on stage 1 baby foods. I am pretty sure he said I could start that tomorrow, but to be on the safe side i'll wait until they open on Tuesday for me to double-check. I do have a ton of baby food stocked up for when I'm ready.

I was banded on Friday, and I've slept a lot. I haven't been able to take my narcolepsy meds, so I slept a lot longer than most people do in recovery. Surprisingly, my shoulder doesn't hurt at all! My back does, however. They made four 1 1/2 inch incisions, and one 1/4 inch incision. I kind of miss being in the hospital, because I was able to have people catering to me. It's very difficult to play with the kids when I'm in pain. ugh. It'll all be worth it though! Doctor says he actually leaves saline in the band during surgery, but I didn't ask him how much I've got. I have been feeling nauseous in the morning.

Surgery tomorrow morning . . . starting to freak
KateTheGreat replied to RaSCal's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Don't be sorry for the post...I have surgery tomorrow at 7am and I have to be there at 5am. I have Narcolepsy, and people w/ it take a LOT longer to wake up than others...so I'm just worried about that, too. I have two small children, and I have been getting cold feet, too. I will do it, but I think it's normal everyone feels those "what-ifs". Good luck!! -
