Today was my B-day ... I feel good

[al0vely 24]

Today was my band day and I feel great ... arrived at 9 a.m. left surgical center at approximately 2 p.m. The doctor was running behind ... surgery was scheduled for 10 a.m. and I didn't receive anesthesia until approximately 11:45. My doctor is great but the anesthesiologist had the personality of a gnat. Recovering from the anesthesia was the most difficult part due to the gas ... but I feel really good now.

I must have drank 4 oz of Water before leaving the surgical center and started drinking Gatorade once I got home. I am going to try to get the 20 oz bottle down if possible. I have been hanging on the couch with extra pillows and am taking pain meds on the schedule for today so I don't get any unnecessary pain.

The only bad thing about the entire day was a 78 year old lady ran into my car while my daughter and sister went to Walmart while I was in surgery. I can't believe it but I didn't even get upset although I LOVE my Toyota Avalon. NO one was hurt and it is something I will worry about after next week.

I have been walking 10 laps on my 40 foot deck every hour and have dozed off a couple of times while holding down the couch for an hour.

congradulations on becoming a bandster!

When I had mine done I would wake up and just grin and pinch myself, to make sure I wasn't dreaming!

Remember this is a time of healing, so don't over do it! :Banane39: Be sure to follow your Dr.s orders too....

Happy banding :welldoneclap:
