HALLELU-JAH..God Is GREAT!..Surgery Went Well...

[Industrious Bee 27]

Thank you so much to everyone for all of your support & prayers..I had my Lap-Band Surgery on Monday June 2, 2014..And everything went great, I couldn't be more happier..The surgeon was brght & Chipper & knew exactly what he was doing, the nurses were all very friendly, courteous & skillfull..And everyone at the hospital just made it a very pleasant experience for me, as best they could anyways.My Surgery took about 2 and a half hours...I was in the 1st recovery room a few hrs.. Then to the 2nd recovery room, where my husband & nurse also sister-in-law were waiting..I'd say within an hour I was up walking & put on my own nightgown & washed my face, brushed my hair & felt good..My surgeon though, thought it best that I stay at least 1 night, because I also had my Gall-bladder removed & needed a Liver Biopsy for my Gastrologist guy..So, I followed orders..I felt very happy & blessed that all had gone so great...No Nausea, stomach pain, or headaches, nothing!..Maybe it was because I really needed to get my Gall-bladder outta there also, I don't know, but what-ever the reason for my new found Health/Vigor & Vitality, I'll take it..I seem not also to have any pain in my joints fom my Arthritis right now also, so Great, Great, Great!...That's All I Can Keep Saying..Even in my own Mishaps, God has once again seen me through...Thank You, Thank You, Thank You...I am on my 1st week now, of my Post-Op Clear liquids & that seems to be also going well...I been up walking around at home bits at a time also, so that helps get the air out & the pressure off my chest from the built up gas..The walking I think has really helped the most & the deep breathing & Coughing, my surgeon suggested..I tell you, I cannot be more happier & I am SO Happy, Happy, Happy I did not allow my fears to Stop me from making this much needed Life-changeing decision to my New Healthier Life-style..Hallelujah & Amen..I see my Surgeon next Monday, 1 week after to look at my incisions & check me out, I can't wait...Hope this helps someone else, getting ready for their Lap-Band surgery also..God Bless You All!...And Thanks Once Again!...Mrs. Debi {Gods Industrious Bee}...+

You do the same as you did and just save the changes and you will notice changes in a couple of months.

I'm scheduled for lap band in Aug. Reading about what steps you went thru, helps me to know what to expect. Glad you are doing well.
