Well, it's officially done. I am a banded sister! I had the lap band surgery done at GBMC in Baltimore , MD. The surgery went ok, apparently I'm a bleeder so that caused some problems. Once I stopped bleeding and got banded, all was well. Once in recovery, they took me to do my swallow. Nothing was going through my band so the dr had to come down and let air out of my belly. Once we got that done, I was back up to recovery and getting ready to go home.
I've been sleeping alot and walking as much as possible while awake. I haven't had the energy to weigh myself yet. I've been drinking Isopure Protien Water and propel every couple of hours to meet my protein and stay hydrated. I'm excited that it's done and the pain really was minimal considering I was a nervous wreck!
