About this blog

The final road to my banding in August 09. I should have started this awhile ago because the closer my surgery comes, the more nervous I get. So I'll be periodically posting from time to time. Probably when I just need to get things off my chest.

Day 10 post op: SO ready to go back to work!! Bored out of my mind...:thumbup:...which is not helping with eating. But I've been good for the most part. Sticking with the smoothies on a regular basis with a little "mush" food cheating here and there. Nothing crazy. Peice of dry toast with sugar free applesauce on it does the trick . Have had some Campbell's soup also. Couldn't eat a whole bowl. I have to admit I did go out one night just to get out. Stopped at a bar/restaurant my friend works. H

Ok...day 4 post op! Woo hoo! Made it through the "juice party" barely. Back to Crystal Light which I love! Started protein shakes yesterday...bleh! Supplimenting some of the liquid with watermelon which is doing good. Called my surgeon's office yesterday to question about taking my BP meds and they didn't call back. :tongue_smilie: So after I felt like I was going to stroke out, I decided to take them as is one capsule, one tablet a half hour apart. Feeling better. Can't get to sleep

Well I did it! Surgery was Tuesday! Went in to hospital at 6amand was discharged yesteday around 2pm. Last thing I remember was them putting the "happy juice" in and I was gone. A woke in recovery with really no pain at all. Just like a minor irriration where the incisisions were. Worst thing so far is the pain (like a runner's cramp) under my left rip and my left shoulder. Also a little diarhea. Burping is quite painful. Like someone stabbing me in the shoulder blade. Hope that goes a

Surgery day! Fell asleep earlier in the evening & woke up around midnight. UGH! Have to be at the hospital at 6am. They certainly won't have any problem getting me to go to sleep! Surgeon "threatened" me with a catheter if I couldn't pee for her when I arrived. My back teeth are floating!! Guess I'll leave it here...I'll be back post-surgery! :thumbup:   And so it goes.......

Can't believe it's been almost 3 months since I've posted! So let me get caught up here. My surgery date is Tuesday. Yep...this Tuesday! Nerves on edge. Not so much for the surgery, but worried about running in to insurance issues. I don't even know for sure whether I am covered for this. I have CareFirst BC/BS of MD, and have completed (finally) all their requirements. I have several of the comorbidity issues. I would think that my surgeon would have said something if they weren't going to co

So here we go: I'm just going to start by telling a little about myself. I'm a 44 yr old divorced male living in Baltimore, MD. For as long as I can remember, I've been heavy. Or as my friends & family refer to...stocky, husky, big framed, or large boned. Oy! Gimme a frickin' break...at this point in time at my age, height, and weight...I on the very beginning line of morbid obesity. In February when I first started to go for this I weighed in at 297 lbs. My insurance requires that I atten
