Why Was I So Scared?!

Surgery was at noon today and I feel great! Man, it was a breeze. My surgeon was great, the anesthesiologist was amazing, and the whole staff was very nice. My husband got stuck with mandatory overtime and was completely distraught he couldn't be with me today, but my dad brought me and sister-in-law came after. Tonight, I'm only having some shoulder/back pain from the air. I can't even feel the band or the hiatial hernia repair they did.

 

I can't believe I was so scared yesterday I wanted to cancel! Good thing I put on my Big Girl Panties today when I woke up :lol:

 

So this is it...here I go! First post-op is on May 30th, I can't wait to show my doctor what progress I will make.

Many congrats!! You're a bander now!

Fear of the unknown is normal and I'm still taking stock of how easy it was. I had no pain or nausea following surgery, just shoulder discomfort for a couple of days.

Sit back and rest a while:)
