Posted in this site as when I was reading some of the messages it scared the tripe out of me
So I am three day after surgery feeling great as long as u take all the pain relief given
Walked into theatre on the 6th had met the surgergon before hand, nurses lovely made me feel really at ease
In recovery for 2 hrs can't really remember much
Up to the ward morphine given and loads of other pain relief
Daughter arrived in 13/16 fixed the hair and facial
Consulant arrived late evening asking why I was still in gown, patient feel better he says in pj
Got into pj got coffee and yogurt up to the loo
Too excited to sleep much
Next morning coffee then porridge 30 later
Shown how to inject anti clotting drugs given loads medications for home. wounds to b left alone for ten days
And then I take off
Pass the hospital/ clinic daily when back driving and to call in if any worries
Got dress a bit make on checkout at 11:30
Good to b home
Purée loads of dinner and homemade soups
Eating low fat yogurts and custards
Only time will tell re weightloss
But the whole experience to all you worried pre bandsters
For me it was the equivalent to key hole sterilisation
I am not saying it will b the same for everyone but that mine
So I hope that puts some of u at ease
Take care
