I made it to the banded side of life!!!!

Hey Y'all!! I was banded on Friday the 24th. Wow, what a difference I feel! I had to stay the night in the hospital for reasons unknown to anyone, except maybe my doctor, he just said people with medical problems have to stay, but didnt elaborate on said medical problems. My doc, while VERY GOOD, happens to have the bedside manner of a lamp post. Oh well, a night to rest away from the kids wasnt such a bad thing.

I have been feeling so tired since surgery. If you quit talking to me i go to sleep! I think its the combination of lack of nutrients and the pain meds. The pain isnt horrible, but the port sight is pretty sore. I am still taking the lortab, however, its getting further and further apart. I love putting an ice pack on the incision, it really helps the soreness and swelling. I have no regrets and am amazed how little I eat right now, I know its becuz of the swelling and all but seriously, the last time I ate that little and was happy was when I was a baby!!!

So anyways, best of luck to all still waiting!!! Be strong and have faith that you have made the right choice!!!
