Other April bandster here! My surgery is next Tues. (04/06)! I cannot wait, but I'm very nervous about surgery as I've never been under general anesthesia. Looking forward to a new me!

Good Luck to everyone, especially those with surgeries coming up tomorrow and Friday!

Hello Everybody...I have been home since 1:00 pm. OK here goes:

DH and I left home at 5:10am

6:15 am All of the staff was great from transporter to surgeon.

7:15 am- preop waiting area no probs. I think my nerves got to me so I had to go to the bathroom twice. :cursing: Clear lip balm applied,

8:00 am- Dr, Anesthetist and few others came to talk for a minute

8:10- In surgery suite. Still not nervous..10, 9, maybe 8 off to sleep. Not sure what size band I have. I'll call the office later. Those drugs were quick. Surgeon repaired a Hernia..To me it was huge. I'll post the picture of it once I learn how to upload on here. 3 Small incisions on abdomen and 1 at upper left shoulder area where my port was placed.

9:45am- woke up. Not very much pain some discomfort. mouth dry. I kept asking to get up to walk. Nausea patch is on back of left ear area, relief band (accupressure for nausea) in place on right wrist.

10:45 am- Up and walking around. Walked to bathroom.

Ice chips, gatorade and Gas-x strips. Lip balm again mouth dry. No problems swallowing.

11:25 am- I my car husband driving. Lortab 1 dose.

1:10 pm- Walking around the house Promethazine.

2:14 pm- SF popsicle, nap..

3:30 pm up and walking.

Alright a little sleepy again.. Yay!!I am on the losing side. Good Luck to all having surg tomorrow.
