Been along time since last post so this is for Feb 1st-Now

Okay since I last blogged I was getting back from being in terrible pain and the emergency room from the pain pump that was in me. Now that it has been resolved I got sick about a 2 weeks ago and I had it coming out both ends. I think there was a slight bug going around here where I live cause everyone I work with has been sick. I moved out of my parents house on the 12th of Feb. and it has been great since. I live on the third floor now and I guess the upside is I get good leg exercise the bad

Late entry January 28th-January 31st

Ok so since I last posted on thursday morning a lot has happened. I got a call back from the Doctor's nurse about me being in pain and all and she said I need to go directly to the emergency room if I am having that type of pain. My worst fear was that they were going to have to remove the band. Well I got there and they did xrays and blood work and everything came back fine. I don't see why though cause every time they laid me down I burst out in tears because I was gasping for air. So it was t

January 28th, 2010 (2 days-PostOp)

So tuesday I had my surgery I got to the hospital a little earlier than they told me cause I had nothing to do that day so I figured I just go ahead and check in. Well I ended up having the surgery 30 min earlier than scheduled. My mom took a few pictures of me in my gown as before pictures. So Igot out of surgery and was feeling okay just a bit groggy and a little pain not too much. I did the swallow test which was disgusting....I laid back down and upstairs I went. They gave me some Iv Fluids

^January 25th, 2010^ New Date and Time....

So she didn't call back (the dietitian) withing the 2hrs like she said so I called her around 12pm and asked when it was going to be and why it was canceled. She said it will be for sure the 26th at 2p which is great! I asked why it was canceled and it seems from what my mom says since she works there and what the lady told me, that he was in philly and didn't make it back in time, that he attend a game this weekend and missed a flight. All that matters is I have a new date and time and so far i

Change of Plans!! *January 25th, 2010*

Well I woke up this morning ready to go in for surgery when @ 730am the hospital I was going to have my surgery at calls and says I won't be having surgery today and that I need to call the Doc's office and reschedule. :sad: I was upset. I had everything ready and was prepared now I have to do it all over again. I called and they didn't tell me why it was canceled or when exactly my surgery will be when I called but that it might be either th 26th @ 2p or the 27th at 3p. They have to get it in b

January 24th, 2010

So the 21st-23rd was hard just waiting for tomorrow. I went out and bout some protein stuff and chewables for after surgery just getting prepared so I don't have to worry about it later. I got the 12 pk. Alpine Punch Isopure 40g Protein, and the 42g Protein New Whey Shots. I also got the liquid daily vitamin, chewable calcium citrate, and chewable iron w/vitamin C. So I think I am ill prepared.:drool: Well, Friday I cleaned up my room to keep me occupied and donated a lot of clothing out of my

January 20th, 2010

So after about 1hr of being home the Doc's office calls and it's my dietitian Irene. She tells me my surgery was pushed back an hour. I thought for some reason it was going to be cancelled. I was relieved. So Monday @ 1045 I will be admitted for surgery.:sad:

January 20th, 2010

So I went in today @ 1000 and went to the obesity center to ask what I needed to do as far as registering and getting my time and prescription elixir. She told me to go to preregistration which I did and they told me I needed to have some labs done so I went to the lab and she took my blood to test for clotting and stuff for anesthesia purposes. Well she busted my vein and now I have a huge bruise looks like I was man handled or something. So I went back to the doctor in the same building and th

January 19th-, 2010

Hello everyone my name is Brenda P. I am 20 yrs old and live in Dallas, Texas. I am trying to have the lap-band®® done. I have been researching and looking to do this since 2006. My parents, when I first approached them with the idea back then was very objective to the idea of me having the surgery at 16yrs old. Really it was only my Dad coming up with excuses why I am not overweight and how everyone has self-confident issues. So I left that at that and was determined to self finance it myself a
