ReneBean 3 Posted February 7, 2006 Hey Y’All!! I am finally Banded!! I am sitting here with my spirometer and some lovely Water and a big ol’jar of liquid Hydrocodon… It’s all good. I slept for a while after I got home – but that was mostly because I had to get up at *shudder* FIVE to go to the surgery center. Doctor Fox and all the folks at the Surgery Center of Richardson were wonderful and I never felt too self-conscious. Thankfully, they knocked me out before they all crowded around and laughed at my big fat belly (lol). <O:p</O:p <O:p</O:p No, really, they were fabulous and the whole thing was a breeze. Who knows what I will have to say tomorrow – but for today, I have no pain and not even any major gas issues. Well, since I just took another hit of Hydrocodon, I might not be entirely lucid, soon, so I will sign off now.<O:p</O:p <O:p</O:p Thanks for all the well wishes, prayers and good thoughts. </O:p Irene Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watermelon 0 Posted February 7, 2006 R, Wish you well with your recovery and soon you'll be dropping the weight like flies. When you emailed me regarding your appeal letters, I noticed that your band date was going to be on my birthday. Today is a special day and you will always remember it as the day you took the BIG step to change your life forever. T. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
