:clap2: I'm BANDED. I'm HOME. So... we get to the hospital. On time. The Doctor is running late. No big suprise there. The waiting area is filled with little whinny kids. The nurses/staff people actually asked the family to go home and leave one adult there. They said NO. I guess its their perogotive but wow those kids were rough.

I finally get to the pre-op meet-n-greet stage. Dr. F walks in and no lie, says "I forgot about you." Now, this man has NO sense of humor so I didnt know how to take that. I cant understand the anesthesiolgist at all. I am asked if I mind if a drug rep watches my surgery.. hey whatever, scrub up and lend a hand.

I wake up in recovery. No Dr. F saying we didnt finish so thats good. I think I did ask if I was banded. I get brought to my suite... a closet with a curtian. I have a roomate who is mid to late 70's. Her bladder fell out of her 7 years ago and she just got around to fixing that. I'm thinking thats an issue. If my bladder prolapsed I wouldnt deal with it for 7 minutes nevermind 7 years. This lady had the nerve to bitch at me for falling asleep before she could say goodnight to me. I learned more about her and her family than one person needs to know.

Dinner last night was broth, jello and tea. I had a few sips of broth and some jello. I had jello around midnight. Breakfast was jello and broth and instant breakfast. It felt good to only have a little and then to be full. I have had some jello periodically today.

I am sore. I am shuffling around and feel like Ozzy Osborne on his mtv show. I am up and walking around, freshly showered and feel like I'm gonna make it. Liquid percocet is some fun stuff. I dont have a recliner but I have a comfy couch. I prefer to sleep on my side but that is not an option. My husband is doing well too. He went to walmart to get me some stuff. He assisted with the shower and dressing me. I dont know if he has eaten but I'm sure he has. He doesnt want to eat in front of me but I'm not concerned.

I feel like I am having a drug-induced incoherent rambling moment so I will wrap it up by saying. WHOOHOO. I'm on my way to skinny-bitchdom. HAHAHAHA :faint:
