It's Official!! I am a Bandster.

Hey Y’All!!

I am finally Banded!! I am sitting here with my spirometer and some lovely water and a big ol’jar of liquid Hydrocodon… It’s all good.

I slept for a while after I got home – but that was mostly because I had to get up at *shudder* FIVE to go to the surgery center. Doctor Fox and all the folks at the Surgery Center of Richardson were wonderful and I never felt too self-conscious. Thankfully, they knocked me out before they all crowded around and laughed at my big fat belly (lol). <O:p</O:p

<O:p</O:p

No, really, they were fabulous and the whole thing was a breeze. Who knows what I will have to say tomorrow – but for today, I have no pain and not even any major gas issues. Well, since I just took another hit of Hydrocodon, I might not be entirely lucid, soon, so I will sign off now.<O:p</O:p

<O:p</O:p

Thanks for all the well wishes, prayers and good thoughts.

</O:p

Hey Beanie Baby,

How ya feeling??

The morning after, I felt like a different person... in a good way. :eek:

Welcome to bandland.... weve been waiting for you! :grouphug:

I'm especially excited for you, since you had to fight like a dog to get approved. You fought the good fight, and now, the rewards are yours! Take care of yourself, and welcome to "Band Land"!

Hey, date buddy! Congrats! Glad to hear it went so smoothly for you. I just got home today -- overnight in the hosp and the most pain I have is a backache from sleeping in the hospital bed. There's some pain around the port area and I'm moving slowly, but hapy to be on this side of surgery.

Feels great to finally be in bandland don't it? I am sooo happy for you. Walk, sip and take those pain meds and all will be right with the world. (at least in your drug induced mind :eek: )

It couldn't have happened to a nicer person!
