I'm back home and banded! The surgery went without a hitch. Took only 20 minutes! That's what my husband said anyway. I'm back home and mending. :confused:

Cathy,

Welcome home!!

I saw where you posted on another thread about gaining weight while you were in Monterrey. Give it a few days and those added I.V. fluids should go away.

Just remember to take it easy for a while. Try not to overdue too soon, and *try* to stick to Dr. Rodriguez' post op diet plan. The first few weeks after surgery will be the hardest, just keep telling yourself that it's the healing phase and the more you take care of yourself now the healthier your band will be in the future. It will all be worth it in the long run.

When you have time I'd love to hear about your trip to Monterrey. Dr. Rod is pretty neato huh?

Take care and keep in touch!

Hi Tricia,

I did gain weight and then started losing VERY fast! LOL I was at 310 on Saturday morning, and this morning I was down to 297.5. You were right, I just needed time to let my body lose those retained fluids. I'm sticking to Dr. R's instructions to the "T". Some things just make my stomach queezy.

And, YES, Dr. Rodriguez is wonderful! He's so nice, and funny, too. My husband enjoyed talking to him also. hehe

What do you want to hear about my trip to Monterrey? I posted something to another section of this forum, did you see that?

Hi again, Tricia,

Forgot to say, my surgery only took 20 minutes! I was so impressed with Dr. R!

Cathy,

20 minutes is amazing! That must mean that your band was easy to place, which is a good thing! Dr. Rodriguez is a wonderful surgeon, so I knew you'd be in good hands

How are you doing? After my surgery, I felt better with every passing day. Hopefully you're feeling better every day.

Well, Cathy & Marz88, this time in 24 hours I will be a bandit (9:45am in Melbourne, Australia @ moment). I have to be at the hospital @ 7am, & my nurse has advised that I'm first on the list ......
