hopefull 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Wish me luck....I'm drowning in all the Clear liquids I had to have to day. Hope to sleep tonight and not spend it in the bathroom. I have to leave my house at 5:00 am for the 7:30am surgery. On Saturday I am off the Old Orchard Beach in Maine for a week of resting in front of the beautiful ocean. Will post when I get back. Thank you to all of you. You have made waiting much more bearable and your posts were great to read. Pix were so great! Thanks..... Robyn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mousecrazy 2 Posted July 22, 2005 I love Maine! We have gone there the last two summers for vacation...not this year, but it's been a different kind of summer. So, Band Buddy, we are on the edge of the cliff! My surgery is one hour after yours...8:30! Good luck, I'll say a little prayer for you. Cindy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hopefull 0 Posted July 25, 2005 Just a post to let you know I made it through. Nothing ever goes as planned in my life. I suppose that is good for I love the surprises but not the oh ohs! My band procedure went fine but they discovered a hernia probably caused from a gall bladder removal last year. They decided to go ahead and fix it as it would cause more problems in the future. Then the biggest issue of all was that there was now to much liquid and bile from the liver floating around for the surgeon to feel OK about. They inserted a drain. Has anyone ever had one of those (XXXX)things taken out of their body. I wanted to roll over and die. UGH!. Well it is now day 3 and I am much better. Just slower healing than a regular band procedure. That side of me feels fine. It's the other side. I am only doing liquid extra strength tylenol because the percocet is hard to get down all chopped up with just a sip of Water. I delayed my trip to Maine. DH will come get me tomorrow. He took the kids up while I stayed at Moms for TLC. Doing fine on CIB and liquids. All clear for 2 weeks. I am so swollen still. My rings are tight and my feet and ankles are still swollen. Hopefully that will go soon. Thanks to all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
