Hello all! I'm back
I'm home and doing fine. Thanks everyone for all of your prayers.
I was in a little shock when I woke up in the ICU. I had talked to so many people and I just assumed it was going to be like a c-section. NOPE it wasn't. PLUS I got that minor set back with the infection. But I'm home today and I'm doing ok.
I have been weepy and crying over every thing. I couldn't even finish reading the posts! I have cried for 2 days. So when I talked to Sherry and Marie I was a whole lotta weepy mess! I was just scared!
I did have kind of a tough time and I'm working my way through it. And lets talk buyers remorse. I was on the phone at 4am crying to my momma. But then my dr. came in and said I could go home today. I was so ready. But he was just being cautious because of me living so far away.
I had some wonderful nurses. and I really REALLY like Dr. Gornichec. The only time I really questioned anything was that they tried to give me a bactrum for my infection and it was pretty big. I just thought it was a mistake. I told them I was scared to take it so they crushed it. It tastes nasty but I'll handle it. Dr. G said he thought I could take it but I don't care for pain and I was afraid it would get stuck!
Anyway I'll post more Later! Let me just tell you I am NOT Wonderwoman! I now Know that!!!!! But hey, I'm still hangin!
Hugs and Kisses to you all and thanks again for your prayers. I could tell I was being prayed for! That divine Healing!!!
TTYL!

I am so excited for you! I have been soooooo busy at work and haven't been on to post in forever!
Glad you are home and don't worry about the buyers remorse, I think most, if not all, of us go through that. Mine was that I didn't have the RNY instead of the Band, and I was so angry with my DH for being so paranoid for me to have the RNY that I chose the Band for his peace of mind. You know what, it's the best choice I could have made for me. It's much slower weight loss but I am appreciating every pound! I would appreciate them with the RNY too, but that is water under the bridge and I am over it.
Keep moving to get the gas out, the shoulder pain was the worst for me too, and yes, in answer to your other post, Gas-X is wonderful!!!!!
Lots of love to you and hope to see you soon at a dinner or support group!
