I survived band removal surgery...

[DeLarla 22]

Vera, it was two whole days without a word out of me other than a couple grunts. Chris should have enjoyed it while it lasted because I'm already getting "lippy" with him so I must be getting better Yep, he was there for me the entire time, but I kept sending the poor guy away. He fretted and stewed and chewed his nails off but I just needed to be quarantined and left alone. He went shopping and brought me back 3 new gold charms for my Bracelet. Now you see why I keep the - what did you call him? Knucklehead!

I'll be great pretty soon and maybe even better than before. It's so nice coming home to my very own Tin Man, Scare Crow and Auntie Em :mad:

P.S. You definately were not your usual spunky self when you called Wednesday night..I can attest to you being not much for words..could of been al lthe good drugs they gave you though :mad:

Take good care of yourself, let yourself heal, and you'll be yourself in no time! I'm sorry for all you've had to endure, and know you will find your way, once again. Hugs, Cindy

Michelle, there were NO such drugs good enough. That was some f-d up surgery.

Vera, thanks for making my guts hurt from laughing! You're so silly!

Hi everyone, I'm too sick (flu crap) to clean but have slept to much to lay around. All I can do is post, post, post. I'm walking upright and get in and out of bed pretty easily, which is a huge, HUGE improvement. So painwise I'm good, but I keep breaking out in shivers that start inside my guts and make my whole bod convulse. I've got my famous bronchial infection, but I'm not sure why the shivers come from my sore belly. I'll call Billy in a few hours and see if I should be on more antibiotics. So surgery-wise, I'm much better, but isn't 5 days too long for a fever? I'm okay as long as I take the liquid Vicodin/Tylenol, but like clockwork, the minute the stuff wears off, there's my 101 fever. Anyone know a good Exorcist that's open on weekends?

Glad to see your home & getting better! Girlfriend, I'll be in the bed tonight too! My back is out! I'll take an extra dose of pain meds with you at midnight. LOL!! & Lonnie won tickets to a New Year's Eve party. Free alcohol & food! They're even taxiing people to the local hotels if they drink too much! That just sucks!! Hang in there. You know we're all here for you! Cheers!...............Love ya, Jess

Glad your home and feeling better, I was a bit worried after reading your story.

The nurses said they see a lot of complications from the Lap band?

[DeLarla 22]

The nurses said they see too many complications from all types of weightloss surgery. I'm just repeatin' what I heard.

Billy called & said my fever is normal and time plus movement (exercise) will get me better. I ran some errands and walked to earn movies in bed with my fur babies.

Dear dear delarla,

you have been a mentor to me about the band. even though I dont post a whole lot, I hope that you will not stop posting and remain on lap band. I really like to read all that you write. I pray that you have a speedy recovery. and I hope for you the best this new year.

P. S. Last time I chatted with you i was to put up an advar. I will have it up soon.

You are such a special person. I noticed on another thread that despite your own aches and pains, you are worrying about others. I'm sorry to hear that things were so tough for you. I'm sending prayers and a big HUG your way!
