April Bandsters!

Day 3 postop and things are doing much better. I haven't needed pain meds in 24 hours, I still have "something" that is a bit painful from time to time. perhaps gas pain, almost feels like too much pressure.

I hope everyone else that has been banded is doing ok and for those of you that haven't all I can say is it isn't the end of the world The day of was shockingly quick and easy.

Now for the journey to begin. As everyone has said the band isn't a magic and we all have alot of life changes to make. One of the first tests will be going to a family event this weekend. There will be sooo much junk food around, thankfully its still so close to postop that I can't eat any of it, however future events will be interesting.

Well I think I'm in ketosis because it's Saturday morning before 8 and I'm already out and about. My energy is higher than normal but my pre-op calories are barely getting to 600. I'll take it for now

Was discharged from hospital last night. Apparently the tumor was behind my spleen not somewhere it would ever have been found unless I had gone in for lap band surgery. So praise the Lord for that! Still waiting on lab results to be sure it was indeed benign. It was the size of an Easter egg! Doc said I should heal in about three weeks and can get the band then. After this pain...I bet it will be a breeze. I am more susceptible to getting sick like pneumonia and meningitis now but that is ok if it saved me from a different cancer down the road. I guess a tumor that size can cause a spleen to bleed internally and you can die from just that! By the time you become symptomatic it's over! I have more reasons now to be healthy....if I had said no lap band i could have died from being overweight! We just don't know do we!!!!??? Anyway, will keep y'all posted!

Nine days - scheduled for the 18th.

Need to go get lab work done in the next few days. Haven't done well on the liquid diet for the last couple of days. Too much socializing. At friends house, we all gather, bring food, and well.... I'm a good cook.

But back at it hard today.
