nat36 2 Posted March 21, 2008 After 18 months of wishing for it I finally got my band on Wednesday. All went ok. I drove hme to Geraldton on Thursday, probably not such a good idea as I was extremely nauseas and was struggling to stop vomiting. Im feeling good today a little uncomfortable but nothing I cant handle. Its funny I feel like a drain when I drink I can hear it swirling around before it goes down the hatch. Im very happy my new chapter has started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sewenup1 0 Posted March 23, 2008 Congrats Nat, Just remember sip, sip, sip and slowly does it - isn't the gurgling wonderful - especially if watching a movie and it happens at the most dramatic part. Danna 8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmaf106 0 Posted March 23, 2008 Hey Nat, Congrats! I was banded on 19th too. I don't know how you managed getting back to Geraldton, I struggled with the 20min drive home to our place! I have been feeling pretty shoddy since then. Today is the first day I've started feeling a bit better. SHoulder tip pain sucks. Anyway, off to have a shower and attempt a walk down the driveway!

Hey Emma were you in the childrens ward too? I seen a lady wondering around in blue pj's was that you? I was thinking how brave she was when I was laying flat on my back in la la land she was doing laps of the ward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmaf106 0 Posted March 23, 2008 Haha I don't know if I was in the children's ward! I was on the Bridget Clancy ward if that helps. And yep I was in blue PJ's. I did ONE lap of the ward and that was enough for me!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Ausgirl, the drive home was probably a bit stupid as it was the journey from hell but I felt like I had to get home to my kids for good friday. I was also so glad to be home in my own bed. We were in St Johns Murdoch and it might sound weird but apparently the kids ward was a nicer place to be (or thats what the nurse told me) the kids all seemed to disappear after an hour of being there so it was all good.
