I wrote up my experiences from my hospital stay, and entered them into two blog entries, since the story is too long to enter into a thread. Click on Blog Entries under my name if you'd like to read about it.

Also, I can't get the ticker factory code to work right anymore. Any suggestions?

Oh my gosh! I have never laughed so hard while feeling so bad for anyone in my whole life. You have a total gift for words.

When you finally "got the deed done" I almost cheered!

I am so glad that you made it and that you have such wonderful support. That is what will help us to succeed.

Pray for me. My turn is Tuesday (Nov. 11) morning bright and early. I am hoping my nether regions stay out of the picture!

Congrats on being a bandster!

I'm glad you liked my story. I wanted it to be humorous, just to let people know we can get through this without such dread. The surgery itself didn't seem that big of a deal to me. Best of luck to all of you.

Thanks for posting that!

Which hospital did your banding? I'm being done at Sparrow in Lansing.

I was at Royal Oak Beaumont. Despite of the rantings in my email, they are really at top notch hospital. Extremely efficient and friendly.

Oh my GOSH what a great blog--so funny! What else can we do to you to get another funny story?

Edited to add:

I forgot to mention how sweet the things you said about your wife and family were. It made me a little misty! "I laughed, I cried..."

VERY Funny!! With surgery coming up for me soon I'll remember to pee at the hospital. :eek:
