Good for you ... Congrats and welcome to bandland!

Well it's was good except waiting for a 1 1/2 in the waiting room. Not sure why they ask you to get there for one hours before, when you just sit there in the waiting room. I think i was out not even one hour after surgery, they kick me out pretty fast that was weird. I am really hungry right now, I wish i could have a Optifast or anything. I don't feel like i got the band, I can only feel where the port is its the only place that is sore. They did 5 lap band today. Its a really busy clinic thats for sure.

Im doing so good i started to pack our new clothing, im just trying to move a little bit. so i clean the room too. Should i be feeling so hungry, thats what hurt the most how hungry i am.

That could be the aneasthetic (the hunger) - people react differently to it. You might be better to take a dose of codeine and try to unwind. The problem with feeling so well is that you run the risk of overdoing it and then paying for it later - take the advice to rest and take it easy.

I hope I feel as well as you do when it is my turn. Well done and safe trip home.

Congrats, glad you are feeling well. I am going to drop off check to Dr C today for my surgery on Aug 15th. Is your hotel near his office? Do you need anything, juice, broth etc. I would happy to drop off anything you need at your hotel.

Welcome to bandland andreerichards

Have fun at the Mall, I guess you are going to Square One. Try not to buy too many clothes, you will be losing weight, and will be changing sizes very quickly. I am trying to psyche myself up that I can only buy two pairs of pants in each size until I'm at goal. After all I am spending 16K on the surgery, i will need that clothing money to pay back my line of credit LOL. Glad you are feeling up to an outing.

I'm glad to hear you're doing so well after your surgery. I was banded in the same clinic July 12, by Dr. Mumford. I must have had a reaction to the anaesthetic, because I was quite sick and feeling lousy for 3 days. I wasn't sure how I was going to make it on the plane to go back to Vancouver. I know what you mean about having to wait so long in the waiting room, and then rushing you out after the surgery. I had the same experience. Did you "get" to wear the white toque and blue gown like a smurf? That made me laugh. :biggrin1:

Yes the toque was weird, but the blue robe was way to big i could of had 5 of me in there.

We when shopping today at cotton ginny i got some tops only m/m and some large and some small, they were having a great sale.

Looking foward to going home on saturday, not much to do here.
