I did it! 04-08-2009

Well, it's officially done. I am a banded sister! I had the lap band surgery done at GBMC in Baltimore , MD. The surgery went ok, apparently I'm a bleeder so that caused some problems. Once I stopped bleeding and got banded, all was well. Once in recovery, they took me to do my swallow. Nothing was going through my band so the dr had to come down and let air out of my belly. Once we got that done, I was back up to recovery and getting ready to go home.

I've been sleeping alot and walking as much as possible while awake. I haven't had the energy to weigh myself yet. I've been drinking Isopure Protien Water and propel every couple of hours to meet my Protein and stay hydrated. I'm excited that it's done and the pain really was minimal considering I was a nervous wreck!

Well congratulations. Hope all is going well. I cant wait till it is my turn. I go this coming Thursday April 16th. I am getting mine done here at my little local hospital Atlantic General in Berlin. So how are you liking the Isopure drinks? I have bought a few of those and a few of those 3 oz bullets for the first few days after surgery. Keep us posted on how you are doing.
