:bananapowerslide: :bananapowerslide: :bananapowerslide: I'm finally in "BAND-LAND"!!!! After a long bumpy ride trying to get here I finally arrived and I could not be happier!! I arrived at the hospital at 5am yesterday morning (8/29/2011), I was the first surgery of the day so they took me right back and preped me and I was in the O.R. by 7am. My nurses and and surgery team were so nice! They went above and beyond my expectations! I had a hirena that had to be repaired during surgery so I am quite sore, but as long as I sit still I do not hurt at all, which is a plesant surprise! I was really worried about the gas pains, as some people (including my husband) experience AWFUL gas pains post op, but so far mine have been minimal. I am so excited to begin this new chapter in my life!!! I would just like to say THANK YOU to all the friends I have made on this site who have been a great deal of comfort and support during the last few months, you are all wonderful!!!:bananapowerslide: :bananapowerslide: :bananapowerslide:
