Post op Day 4

Last night was the first night that I have slept anywhere near flat. I am still on my back but it really felt good to be flat. My back has been hurting terribly. I drove 2 hours yesterday to get my new car. I was crazy but I love it. Bill wants me to fly to NC tomorrow to get our RV and drive home (2 days away by mileage, 3 days by RV time.) I am a little scared to fly. I have read some good experiences and some bad. I guess people who go to mexico and beyond, do it all of the time. I still have an empty band. That seems to be the kicker. Soooo I will try it I guess.

I am still having large gas bubbles or at least that is wht I think they are. I had to get up and walk at 4 am. I can't burp. Why is that?

I am still having abdominal pain at the port incision site and down my right side. The bruising is hideous. I can't say much for my surgeons plastic surgery skills.:thumbup:

I read some entries about hair loss today. I seem to be losing a substantial amount. I can't get all of the protein in. Don't know if that is all of it or just plain ole stress.

Hanging in there.:ohmy:
