nursejenkins

I had my band placed on Thursday sept 1st. I checked in at the hospital at 6:45 am and was home around 2pm. Very surprised at how easy it went. I had a little nausea post op but the nurse in the recovery room put some medicine in my I.V and I havent had a problem since then. I am sore but not in pain. It is kind of hard to sleep because my abdomen is tender . I am on clear liquids until tomorrow then I get to have full liquids for 2 days then mushies. Plan on going back to work Tuesday. good luck to all!

I am also gettting banded tomorrow. I have to be at the hospital at 6:45am. good luck to you.

I am scheduled for surgery on Sep 1st. I started my pre-op diet last Thursday ( aug 18th). It is the Nutri-med diet. Haven't found any of it very delicious but I have already lost 4 pounds so that is ok. I had an upper GI last week that showed a possible hiatal hernia and ulcer so I am having an EGD done this Tuesday to have a closer look. Hope it doesn't interfere with my surgery.... kinda nervous about it tho.
