Home and BANDED!!!

Yesterday was my big day, and now I'm home and banded....so scoot over everyone....and make room for one more!!!  I really feel like I'm having the opportunity to start a new life!   I think I'll be sleeping in the recliner tonight, though....I'm more sore than I expected to be!  And silly me, I didn't go get my prescription for the liquid pain reliever because it was so nasty tasting in the hosipital.  LOL....well let's just say we made a 10pm run to Walgreens to get that puppy filled!!!  But I can honestly say, "I'VE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO BE IN PAIN!"

Good for you-- Congratulations!  Where did you have your surgery done?

I had my surgery at Shawnee Mission Medical Center in KC with Dr. Hoehn.  My doc had me stay in the hospital overnight just because of the distance between Wichita and KC, should any problems have arisen.  Everyone was fabulous and treated me so well.  Definitely worth the 2 1/2 hour drive for the care!

I'm so excited for you!! I'm glad all went well. I have mine 11/5 so I am getting very nervous. So far everything has been very smooth.....I want it to stay that way.

Congratulations and welcome to the losing side of life!! Take good care of yourself!!

Hope you wake up feeling good.  I am so glad you are home.  Wishing you lots of luck and will be interested in how you are doing.  I hope to get banded soon. 

Congrats!  Glad to hear your doing ok.  I know from your previous posts you had some false starts but hey, perseverence pays!  Hope you recover quickly.

Thanks!  I'm feeling better everyday!  The only complaint I have at the moment is that my stitches are so itchy and driving me crazy!!!  You know, they say good things are worth waiting for....and I have so much to be thankful for.  It's a new start in my life, and what a wondrous journey lies ahead!
