Banded June 5th

[~Michelle~ 0]

Friday I had surgery, and went well for the most part. My first surgery ever, and I woke up pretty freaked out. I guess my liver was a little big, so it took a little longer. I didn't get to talk to my surgeon afterwards because he had another surgery, and I was released before he was done, but he did talk to my husband. Yesterday we had to drive 3 hours to get home, and that was rough. Today would have been a much better day to drive home, because I am not as sore. I am still sore today, mostly the gas I think. My incesions only hurt when I get up and down. My stomach is still a little swollen, not sure if I should be worried about that or not. I have never had any kind of surgery, so not sure what to expect really. I got to have some cream of wheat today so that was really nice. I am really happy I had this done even though I am not very comfortable right now.

Bandlandia!! YEA!!! Congrats!!

I hear the swollen stomach is normal, it's just the gas they filled you up with.

Yay! Glad it went well. bummer you had to drive so far and be sore.

My surgeon wants me to stay overnight just cuz I'm from "far away" [colo springs instead of south denver area ---- but it's only an hour!]
