I didnt think it was really gonna happen today...it was a comedy of errors right from the start! First, they call to tell me not to be here at 5am, but 7:15 am instead, AFTER I had already left the house & was on my way! Then, when I got here, they couldnt find the Drs orders. Then the computer system crashed in the preop registration room. Then best of all, I hear "Code Red, East tower, Penthouse". Great the flippin hospital is burning down now!!!!!!!!!

So my surgery was delayed almost an hour due to a fire somewhere. But, after everything was calm again, surgery went perfectly. I got in around 11:20, & was out by 11:50. Liver was perfect. My band is an Inamed AP Regular 10cc. I am not hungry at all, but I have had some warm broth since it feels great on my throat which hurts SUPER BAD!

The lip balm and throat drops have been big helps too. Although I find myself dozing w/ the throat lozenge in my mouth, gotta be careful not to swallow that!

I am very sore, but I havent had pain meds in about 7 hours now & its not too bad. So far no gas pains & I hope it stays that way!

My mom & kids just left (I am staying the night voluntarily) So I am gonna go nap again.

I just wanted to tell all of you, THANKS SO MUCH!! I never woulda gotten thru all this without the support & knowledge I gained on here! Luv u guys!!!

Why were you originally denied though?

they kept saying it was an exclusion. my contract stated the surgical an non surgical tratment of obesity was excluded unless, authorized by a physician for medical reasons. Guess they couldnt read past the comma.
