I had the plication and lapband today and did not know I was getting it. So happy with my doctor's decision.

I was told to get to the hospital 6am this morning and I believe my surgery started around 8 ( I dont really know because I was out like lighting). I woke up to a nurse calling my name and feeling a little nauseous but I never threw up. I was in the recovery room for about a hour or so and then rolled back to my room. I was still in and out because the night before I could not sleep. Guess what I did you guys? I ate a piece of pizza and three wedges calling myself celebrating this new journey. My body was not ready for this. My head was spinning, I wanted to throw up and I had a headache. But you know what guys I learned from this and if eating with the band makes me feel this way I DON'T WANT IT. So it was a blessing in disquise! Anyways, I had to drink that nasty fluid (puke) to check for any leaks. It was good. I found out from my doctor that he not only did the lapband (which is not filled yet) he did the gastric plication as well. I was thrilled to know that he did this because it will help in my weight loss. How many had the plication as well? My doctor just started doing this a month ago with the lapband procedure. I am doing great. I am sipping on fluids all day long and I stay full. I think I may have gotten 200 calories today but I am full as I don't know what. So I am just letting everyone know that I am okay. I have so much energy that I impressed the nurses and walk all day long.:) :) Oh and so far have not had any gas pains and I have little pain. All Glory to God.

I am so happy that we have this in common. Not many people have the combo and it would probably be hard to understand the process with both if you dont have it. I really did not know that I was going to get it. It was a surprise to me. Apparently my doctor just started to do it about a month ago. So your email is angelizz10@yahoo? I want us to PEASE stay iin touch. WHen are you going to have it?

Thank you Arnetta, I just read your blog and I happy that you are feeling okay. I have to admit, I did have a day where I thought, "Why did I do this" but I guess it is normal. It is our emotional side working on us. By day two I really had an emotional breakdown and my boyfriend was concerned..Probably was overwhelmed with everything. The second day I just left the hospital and my car would not start, it was just a mess. So I had to go home and sleep this off and I mean I slept. It is getting better and better and I am not really that sore. I do have gas but no gas in my shoulders or chest, just mainly when I drink anything.
