I DID IT!!
Hello Everyone!! Well...it's done! Just got home from surgery. Sorry I didn't post up to the minute blow by blow getting ready...between work, life and all the pre-op.....time didn't permit...but assure regular updates. If i can figure out how to do this correctly.
Surgery was to be on 10/25. Got moved up to 10/28.(yesterday) So here i am...the proud owner of a new Gastric Lap-Band!! Now. I must admit this. I'm a very "Hairy" feller. Seeing my BIG SHAVED BELLEY is quite the hoot!
Outside of the normal surgical pain, i'm not feeling at all too terribly bad for the moment. Surgery was at 9:15am. I thought that atleast i'd get some kind of liquid diet started on day one.....NOPE...Ice Chips Only till breakfast this am. then the gormet meal arrived. some soup broth and liquid jello....I smiled and said....you got to be kidding me!! And much to my suprise....IT FILLED ME UP!
Congratulations Christopher!!!
How wonderful to have you back safe and sound. Don't you just love those gourmet meals? Aren't they just the best!!! (grin). Don't worry though, it does get better, as I'm sure you know.
Glad to see you you have such a great sense of humour. Hey, if I come down your way can I draw faces on your tummy?????? I promise to stay above the belly buttom. (smirk)
Take care of yourself, and enjoy the ride.
