Hey Im home

Hey everyone I am home.... Surgery was good took a long time 6.5 hours. However the recovery in the hospital was horriable. I had a horriable roomate the floor was full so they teamed me up with this old man who didnt sleep yelled at the nurses all night and everything it was interesting to say the least but i am home and recovering ok. few small complications but nothing perminent or major. Just glad to be home.....

Glad to hear your home and good luck. I was supposed to lap-banded tomorrow but I had last minute insurance problems. Where did you have it done?

Hello, Glad to see eveything went good. That stinks about the roomateI lucked out and didnt have one. Small Complications what happened? So 6.5 hours wow. Isnt it usually 4 hours? I dont even know how long mine were. You didnt miss to much at the meeting pretty much the same thing. I wish they would come up with new ideas to give the post ops changes sothey dont get bored with the same old diet excersie all that kinda stuff. Well I am glad you are home. Now take the time to recover.... Natacha

Hey, Jason, congratulations and welcome home! Anne

thanks a lot.... They said they think they pinched a nerve when i was on the table for so long and my left arm was fully numb I coulndt feel it. However it has gotten 90% better it was jsut they way i was stuck on it... I am starting to get head hungers but i am doing ok have to force myself to eat and drink not really hungry aside from in my head... When do most people start being able to eat regular food.. Chicken etc I have to break out my paper form the dietician... Take care Jay

Welcome Home Jason glad to hear the complications were not major. As far as food I know every surgeon is different. I was on nothing but liquids for two weeks, then I moved on to mushy food for two weeks, and then each week I was slowly allowed to add different proteins to my diet. Jennie

So glad to hear you are home and doing well. Best of luck on your new journey. Kellie
