D_day

Well I did it. I am now banded. A brand new chance to feel and look better. A better brand new me. Arrived at the hospital at 7:30 am for a 9:30 surgery. I was very sad b/c my grandaughter had to go to Duke for a check up b/c of a cough.. there was a chance she would have to be admitted. I started crying before I went in and cried until I was in the OR. Fortunately she did not have to stay . I stayed in pacu for 3 hrs which is a long time. Recieved 200 mcs of fentenyl for pain and everything under the son for nausea. Cramps were bad. Very sore tonight. Can void as usual, have had to cath self 2 times so far. Hopefully tommorow my bladder will start funcitoning again. Can't seem to get enough to drink. Very dry.

Good for you. I am in the Raleigh area and was banded 12/23 at Rex. I was also really dry but found that ice chips really helped.

CONGRATULATIONS Bander!! Keep sipping and feel better soon! -BG

Yay! That's great...good luck with everything & once you can, chew, chew, chew!
