Hey Everyone! I am officially banded. Surgery went great this morning and I was home by 2PM EST and have felt great. I'm sure the meds have not worn off, but I'll take it:) Surgery was quick and easy and I was in recovery for about three hours. I came home, watched TV for a little while and just got back in from a little walk(doctor's orders) and am going to sip on some tea. For anyone going to Portsmouth hospital, they were AWESOME! My surgeon came into chat and didn't seem rushed, the other doctor's nurses and staff were fantastic-I'm going to write a letter to the hospital-I was that impressed. I'll write more when I can see straight and when I'm not as sleepy:) Thanks for the support and I look forward to our journey's together!!!Moe

Moe I'm so glad to hear everything went so well for you. You deserve an easy run, because you've amazing support to many of us!

Moe~

Way to go! I can't believe how quickly you are up and around. I hope my surgery goes that well!

Thanks!~ I'm really glad to have the "August All-Stars" to back me up through this journey! I have about 3 lbs more and it will top my highest amount of weight lost at any one time....That is sooooo huge!! I love the band:) Moe

Wow your doing so great, I will talk to my friend I am trying to get her to post here. I am going to call her tomorrow. She's very excited to do this also. I am so happy and calm about the surgery. I dont' know how I will feel on Thursday morning LOL. But now I am calm.....

I agree with you on Manny, they were discussing the problems the team has had with him this year. He seemed to not be playing well on purpose, he was throwing the games. The players were very unhappy and it showed with their playing, Manny is Manny that's a cop out, I do think he needs Prozac or lithium I do think he's bi-polar.

I love Jason Bay he's adorable, I saw in the stands the girls are going nutz for him...."The Bay Watch Babes" isn't' that cute.

He's a better fielder than Manny and we still have Big Poppi to hit. I just hope Manny doesn't' try to persuade him to leave, I doubt it.

Moe, I was joking about being in your rear view mirrow. I was more exasperated because I'd wasted nearly three months getting it done. When I turned 50 the AARP sent me a document titled the ten commandments of growing old gracefully. Number one is, "it doesn't matter." Wish I'd taken that to heart when I was 30. Would have saved a lot of heart burn and perhaps wasted relationships.

:thumbup:It' 11 Pm. I was finished banded about 230 pm, today. I still have tingly hams for fingers and keep hitting wrong keys. I'm still waiting for the first hurt to hit. I drank a cup of chicken broth for my only meal since yesterday and have drank a lot of Water. Clear liquids only for two days then liquids only for 2 weeks.:cool2:

Sure....blame it on the hammy fingers :cool2: I'm a little more inclined to think it might be some leftover happy juice :thumbup:

I'm glad that you are doing well and able to post so soon to let us know. Keep us posted :thumbup:
