PhotoNut 7 Posted January 13, 2006 I technically live in Meridian. When we moved out here four years ago, we were in the country. Pastures, horses, cornfields everywhere. So refreshing. Now I don't think there's even one of those open areas left. So many subdivisions and shopping centers. It's crazy how fast Boise is growing. I have to wonder.. where are all the jobs to support the people who are buying these $400,000 houses??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kim_8 2 Posted January 13, 2006 Sus - I went into admissions at 9:30 am, into surgery at 10:30 am and out the door at about 2:00 pm.... quite a whirlwind and a really crappy drive back home - I'm about 45 minutes from the Surgery Center. Was glad to get home and lay down and SLEEP.... I think I would've been out even sooner if my blood pressure had been behaving. Crazy technology these days - doesn't seem quite possible to have something like that done and be in and out that fast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhotoNut 7 Posted January 13, 2006 Ok, so even tho the surgeon says the port is fine (without looking at it) it still bugs me. It almost feels like its poking upward, as if it's on its side. Is this normal? Do you other newly banded people feel the same thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdemzi 9 Posted January 14, 2006 No. I only feel my port when I touch the incision area and push in a tiny bit. I can't even tell it is there now. Before, when I would bend over it would hurt, now I am usually okay with bending over, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
