Congrats on your surgery. You will breeze through it with flying colors.

Just take it easy for a few days and you will be on your way. It is a wonderful journey.

Take care.

I'm a little late to read this post to wish you Good Luck but that's what I was going to say. By now you are already recovering from the surgery. That part is now behind you. I wish you a prompt recovery and lots of weight loss. Hope it just melts off of you.

I'M HOME....

Sorry guys, I wanted to let you know yesterday when I got home, but the demerol knocked me right out. I just wanted to sleep...

Surgery went well, but they were almost not going to do it because when the nurse weighed me and took my vitals, she said I had a slight fever??? Well, I felt fine, I just told her that could be because I'm getting my period any day now and normally it's just hormonal. So, the doctors came in and said I was GOOD TO GO!!! As usually, I don't react very well to the "anestegia" (sp?).... I get the tremors afterwards very badly....But it soon wore off...

I had alot of pain last night, but continued my tylenol (crushed) tasts so BAD!!! I know theere is a chewable one out there, but I just can't find it.

How soon do I start taking my Vitamins??? Should I wait a few days? Right now I have some crushing gas pain in my chest cavity.. I guess this is normal...My mom is coming over this morning to help me...Thank God!!

I will post again later today to let you all know how I'm doing.

Khrissy.....I tried to chat with you before I left, but I guess we were playing MSN tag.. That's okay... We will talk very soon.

Take care and Thank God this part is over...

Love you all.

Doriana..

Congratulations on your band, I so happy that everything went well.

As far as your tylenol, tell your mom to bring liquid tylenol with her. It is the Adult formula, I'm surprised no one told you. It works wonders.

The pain in your chest, call your doctor ASAP and ask about your Vitamins also. I had chewables to I started taking them the next day after surgery.

Thanks for posting Doriana,

I was thinking about you yesterday and wondering how you got along. I bought children's liquid tylenol. It is usually in the kiddie section of the pharmacy. Thank goodness for Moms eh? Hope the pain goes soon.

Congrats Doriana

Happy to hear all is well.

I used childrens chewable gravol and tyelnol they were so tasty when I was not able to eat. I'd eat my tylenol first and then Oval (for gas) and then the childrens cherry flavored gravol for dessert!!! What you are feeling now will go away won't be long. The worst is over (the waiting!!).

Congratulations Doriana, glad everything went well for you, that would have been horrible, going thru all that yogurt and cottage cheese diet, and then not band you. Glad the Dr. had the sense to say GOOD TO GO.

Alas the gas pain is part of the recovery, they say a heating pad and moving around along with the gas-x helps.

All the best to you in your recovery. Talk to you soon. Hugs :hug:

Gas-X helped me some, but walking helped the most. I walked every 30 minutes to an hour for about 5 minutes. It worked wonders. I didn't have shoulder pain, but I felt really tight in the middle of my chest. ONce I walked it got better each time.

good luck to you!!!

Hello,

Thank you all for your support. It means so much to me...

I'm feeling okay right now. I got my hubby to get my the junior strength Tylenol... I'm taking 4 of them. Is this enough or do I require more?

I had some broth today, tried the isopro chocolate Protein drink mixed with Water. It was okay...Not that bad.

Am I okay to have black coffee ( I know NO milk this week, right??)

I will be asking you lots of questions...

Thanks again and have a great night.

Doriana.
