February Bandsters

[StLouisGal 1]

Well, I'm home. Everything went well but, Boy, I am I weepy. I'm having horrible dreams and major "Night sweats". Anyone else experienced this?

More than likely the dreams are due to the narcotic pain killers. I had really weird dreams when I took it. I had Hydrocodone and I guess it is too strong for me. I don't know about the night sweats, I was just hot but not sweating. If I hadn't taken a fan to the hospital I would have been extremely uncomfortable.

Good luck and hang in there. It gets better.

I was banded February 6th. I had some initial soreness, much like one owuld have after coughing a lot. That went away after about four days. The only "reminder" of my port is the scar where my surgeon placed it. HE knows where it is, but it's almost as if it isn't there, because I can't feel it; I don't notice it. I lost 19 pounds on my pre-op diet, and am down, at the last "weight check", about 12 more pounds. I go for my first fill March 11th, and I'm really looking forward to it. If my surgeon decides to hold off on putting me back in the hospital to remove my gallbladder, I'm going to get a medical release so I can go back to Christus St. Michael Heath & Fitness Center to get back to working out.:thumbup:
