After 18 months of wishing for it I finally got my band on Wednesday. All went ok. I drove hme to Geraldton on Thursday, probably not such a good idea as I was extremely nauseas and was struggling to stop vomiting. Im feeling good today a little uncomfortable but nothing I cant handle. Its funny I feel like a drain when I drink I can hear it swirling around before it goes down the hatch.

Im very happy my new chapter has started.

Congrats Nat. Take it easy over the next few weeks while you heal and start your new banded life!

Congrats Nat,

Just remember sip, sip, sip and slowly does it - isn't the gurgling wonderful - especially if watching a movie and it happens at the most dramatic part.

Hey Nat,

Congrats! I was banded on 19th too. I don't know how you managed getting back to Geraldton, I struggled with the 20min drive home to our place! I have been feeling pretty shoddy since then. Today is the first day I've started feeling a bit better. SHoulder tip pain sucks. Anyway, off to have a shower and attempt a walk down the driveway!

Hey Emma were you in the childrens ward too? I seen a lady wondering around in blue pj's was that you? I was thinking how brave she was when I was laying flat on my back in la la land she was doing laps of the ward.

Haha I don't know if I was in the children's ward! I was on the Bridget Clancy ward if that helps. And yep I was in blue PJ's. I did ONE lap of the ward and that was enough for me!!

Hi Ausgirl, the drive home was probably a bit stupid as it was the journey from hell but I felt like I had to get home to my kids for good friday. I was also so glad to be home in my own bed.

We were in St Johns Murdoch and it might sound weird but apparently the kids ward was a nicer place to be (or thats what the nurse told me) the kids all seemed to disappear after an hour of being there so it was all good.
