susansilver 0 Posted May 3, 2007 Thanks guys. I am back!!! My experience in the hospital was absolutely phenomenal until I was taken to my room after recovery. Remember this was NOT at TLBC, but at Scarborough Grace Hospital. Mostly I think the nursing staff on the surgical ward are overworked, but enough of that. When I went in yesterday morning the day surgery staff was so wonderful. Truly caring and very supportive. The pharmacist, Dr. Yau and the anaesthesiologist all came to talk to mr. Dr Yau was so very supportive and I think I now have a crush on him! :embarassed: They walked me into the operating room and just as I was breathing deep in to the mask and thinking that I didn't feel sleepy, I woke up in recovery! Dr. Yau was there, told me that everything went really well and that he put in a Swedish band. My recovery nurse Cathy was a darling and then abouto an hour later - up I went to my room. I think I'll skip that part. Dr. Yau came in a little later that afternoon to see how I was doing and even called early this morning to talk to my night nurse. Did I mention that I have a crush on him????:embarassed: LOL I was discharged around 11:00 this morning with a scrip for Tylenol 3, which I am making use of. Other than that I feel great. I am now on the banded side and looking forward to the future. I am not hungry at all, so I have been sipping Water and cranberry juice all day. Thank you all for sharing your experiences, giving me support, hope and comfort and lots of good laughs. I plan to stick around and join you in sharing triumps and tribulations, welcoming newbies and celebrating all the milestones to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
