My surgery and weird reaction to anestesia

I'm glad you're doing OK now and sorry about your bad experience! Now we can just start melting together! =)

I'm jealous about the belching. I needed and wanted to belch so badly the first few days after surgery. I still am not belching much, which at this point I guess I'm grateful for. My gas out the other end hasn't been much either, in fact it's much less than pre-banding. My family is probably grateful for that! LOL

Sorry to hear about the complications you had, but I'm glad you're doing so well. Welcome to this side of Bandland.

Crystal, so glad the throwing up is done. Hope you are feeling better, that must have hurt. I had a catheter in to prevent the peeing part, didn't want it but now i'm glad i did since I was in and out till for a while. they took it out about 3 hours after when it was safe. lol

I haven't burped once and I'm on day 6. the first couple days i chewed gas x for just incase of case since my daughter was staying with me and I didn't want to scare her out of the hospital room. lol

Welcome to the band side!

Thanks so much everybody for the well wishes!

I'm 4 days out and doing so much better. My port area hurts, and oddly, on one side of my port it's completely numb.. not sure why.. but the belching is going down a tad bit, which is nice and I'm getting all my liquids and Protein in, which makes me very happy! It's funny, I keep looking at my belly and the steri strips.. lol. Don't know why. I wish I could take them off and see how bad the scars will be... but, I have to keep them on for like 2 weeks I think. The nasty medicine smell is finally gone from my belly.. ICK. I've been walking around like crazy, so I think that's helping me out.... WOOHOO.. things are looking up for all of us it seems!!
