I'm glad to be home, but it seems that the gas pains and nausea have both hit at the same time. It's been about 24 hours since I came home and now I'm begining to feel like crap.

I'm walking, sipping, chewing gas-x, you name it, but I feel like I have a hard ball sitting on top of my stomach. I will be excited when this nasty feeling goes away.

Roberta

Thanks Roberta!

I'm actually feeling a bit human today. I've added the thicker liquids to my diet and that seems to make a difference.

I had dry heaves last night. I so hate throwing up but even 4 doses of my nausea medication didn't stop it. Nothing came up. Mom said it sounded like really big bad burps, but boy did it HURT!

Went to bed about 8:30pm (actually slept in my bed last night, AHHHHH) and I'm moving a bit more today. Had a BM this morning too. Never thought that would feel so good. And I'm actually beginning to feel hunger pains again, at least I hope that's what I'm feeling. We shall soon see!

Glad to hear you are feeling much better. My turn is tomorrow afternoon at 2:30. Have to be at the hospital at 1:00 PM and I am a nervous wreck. I know that once I get to the hospital I will be fine. The anticipation is killing me!! I don't know if I will be released tomorrow evening or have to stay overnight though. Are you glad you went home that evening or would you have preferred to stay overnight?

I am so glad that I went home that evening. I couldn't wait to get out of there. I was ready to go at 2:00 pm but they didn't want to let me go just then due to a couple of the incisions oozing blood.

Hi Everyone!!

I am also having my band placed in April.. On the 13th to be exact.. I noticed noone else is on the 13th.. Ya'll aren't superstious are you?? I know a lady who is having hers on June 6th.. 6-6-6.. yikes!! I would reschedule for sure!!! I'm having my band placed at the hospital I work at. That is good and bad..since I work at the hospital I picked my own nurses, my surgeon and my anesthesiologist but the pressure is on now since everyone will be monitoring every thing I put in mouth!! I have watched a friend of mine who had Gastric Bypass surgery go thru that.. Noone said anything to her face of course but there were plenty of people who had nothing better to do than to watch what she was eating and comment about it behind her back. Oh well, I guess it comes with the territory.. Well, heres to all of us who are having our surgery this month!! CHEERS!!! (clinks her glass with every one else) <CLINKS else everyone with glass her>(Protein shakes, of course)
