Im banded!!

I'm on day two and feeling pretty great! I still can't believe it. So here's the rundown of how everything went:

I got to the surgery center at 6:15, they took me back at around 6:30. They had a few issues getting my iv in. Apparently I have tiny and very branchy veins. Who knew?! That was NO fun. Also, make sure you're really hydrated beforehand. I looked at the clock as the were wheeling me back at 7:21. I was out at 9:45.

Last thing I remember is they were ace-bandaging my arms and I had to take deep breaths into the mask. Next thing I knew, I was in recovery and my fiancé was there! Hooray! I was pretty nauseous and sore. They gave me more phenergen for my nausea. About a half an hour later my love was helping me get dressed. I slept all the way home. Lol. I have two tiny incisions. Also, my doctor told me my liver looked perfect!! I'm so relieved. I admittedly cheated a couple of times on the liquid diet. Nothing huge or high carb or fatty, but I was still concerned.

I slept as soon as I came home and only had one popsicle all day. I'm just not hungry. I won't lie, it's been really tough to move around so far. Just a super tight and tender feeling. I also had a really sore throat from the breathing tube. Getting much better as the hours pass. I've been drinking my Protein shakes so I get my nutrients. Thanks to everyone for your support! Couldn't be doing this without ya'll!! Even with being pretty uncomfortable, I wouldn't have changed a thing! Im so excited for the future!!!

How exciting! I love reading these because they give me a heads up. Surgery is in a few weeks and I CAN'T wait! I'm still nervous about the tube in the throat.. It just gives me anxiety thinking about it.. I'm not sure its the tube and not other things! Glad everything went smoothly for you! Best Wishes! xx
