So I went in for my 3month check up yesterday and at first it went well. I had told my surgeon that Im snacking more and never hungry so thats when she decieded to give me a fill. They dont want me to eat to just eat she said. She did also tell me that im doing great, down 48lbs in total with pre-op.28 lbs since surg. OK so whatever I layed down, told me to act like I was going to do a crunchie and then numbed me all over with ladicane (cant spell?! lol). Then she brings out this 4" freakin needle and wants to find my port with it, well the freakin thing ends up snapping! I about died...gets a second needle and then tells me to stand up. At this point i start sweating, didnt know if i was gonna throw up or shit myself all in the same time lol The nurse hands me a cup of Water and says start sipping while she adjust the saline. So take a sip or two nothing, told them I feel sick thats about it. They said go ahead and take a drink, ok so I started burping, then another sip burp then I could feel teh water sitting in my throat. She then took saline out and told me to take another drink and I was fine, felt it go down. THEN SHE TRIES TO TAKE THE FREAKIN NEEDLE OUT AND ITS STUCK! All I could say to her was "the bitch is stuck" lol Thats what did me in, I almost fainted, had to sit down afterwords for about 15mins b4 I could go home. I was soo nauseas. First fill was 4cc's in a 10cc band...i feel ok today not as nauseas but last night it was bad. Dry heaving for about an hr..I'm freaked out to eat anything now! Im clears until tomorrow and im pretty sure its head hunger BUT I think im really hungry. Its weird. Anyways that was my exciting story~ *wanted to clarify...the needle didnt break off in my port thankfully broke in the middle..too big i guess?

GL tomorrow! I was terrrrifed of having this surgery! But once its said and done you'll look back and say it wasnt that bad. Of course your going to have some pain,soreness exp. when you need to walk or move. My only advice is to keep up on the pains meds even if you feel ok and to walk, walk, walk! It will help you heal faster and will help all the trapped in gas pains to move out! You may want to get a heating pad and some gas-x..heating pad will help if you get the shoulder gas pains. If you have any questions feel free to come in to Chat, great support group in there also~ Gl and congrats hun, Brie

Clear liquids are broth(note: the top ramen packages are sooo much better than reg broth)of course water, jello and some docs consider popsicles and protein shakes as clears. Hope this helps..

Jackie: Oh I left out one lil part also, but minus well tell you. When she had me lay down she said "oh ur small" and i said are we talking about my port or my vajayjay...lol Only because everytime i get a pap they always have to use the smaller ones because ive never had babies down there..ya so anyways thought ud enjoy that one too LMAO hehe

LOL thanks Jackie and GUY thats was great....yea what a mess hopefully the second one isnt as bad! Thanks for all the comments so far:P

Hello, I was just seeing if anyone else was going to be banded next month? I don't have a date YET but my last appt. is dec.29th and then I'll find out my surg date.:biggrin: I'm excited and nervous and all of the above. I'm dreading next week(x-mas FOOD) I have to lose 5 lbs and I know it doesnt seem like alot but it's not a walk in the park like i assumed it was going to be.:thumbup: My plan is to make smart chocies and to start Protein shakes and lean cusines for dinner. Oh and of course forceing myself to get to the gym. It's so hard these days with the weather and the babies but no excuses. I need to do this and I will. But anyways I was just wondering if anyone was going to be banded? Also if you are banded and started out at 230 how long did it take you to drop the weight to about 160?! :cool2:Thanks~
