Topic: SURGERY UPDATE
Thank You everyone for all your prayers and well wishes I'm out of recovery, I've walked the hallways or the hospital seems like 1 million times. Not feeling to bad, I think the headache I've got is worst than the stomach pain. Had a little scare. When I went to have my upper gi after the surgery the liquid they gave me wouldn't go down, I was soooooo upset I told them to get me the doctor or I was leaving the hospital. He was at my bedside in minutes. He drained the small amount of fluid in the band, had me drink some water and all set.. Thank GOD. I though for sure I was going to need another surgery or something, all due to the panic stricken radiologist that got me scared.

Hope you feel better!
I could start trying whatever this week also and it hasn't been going well. I've been getting sick a lot but can keep down water and squishy things. Getting sick is horrible. Sorry you are having that with even water! Hope you get hydrated and they figure it out soon!

I was first too. I would rather go first when they are not tired, think of it that way! I do my best work in the morning too.
Congratulations! Hope you are up and about super quick!

Topic: Back to the Hospital
So ever since I have been approved for new foods I have been throwing up everything I am eating and drinking which made me even more dehydrated and landed me in the ER while visiting a friend in Newburyport. At least the hospital had a fast track system that got me out in 4ish hours but still...I feel like a mess. I wasnt even keeping water down. Bleh.
I called the surgeons office but he was in surgery and not available to tell me what to do. Ill try back again today. Also the nutritionist, who is my other contact, doesnt work mondays so Ill have to call her today.
Just call me Murph from now on since I am like murphys law (anything bad that can happen will happen) lol. Oy...Sometimes I wonder why I did this surgery...I am really not loving food at all anymore. Wheres my happy medium?

Omg, I can't describe what I am feeling. Is this normal, I'm not afraid, or nervous really more like wired for sound. Wide awake. The hospital called and said see you at " 4Am " I was like ( What you talking about Willis ) they said I'm the first surgery of the day.. Yippee , the first time In my life I don't want to be first and I am.. LOL.. I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone out here not only those who have teamed up and have been a great help in my journey this far but to everyone who's not afraid to stand up and post all the things they do so that many may benefit from your post. I'll be back to let everyone know how it went. Till then Thanks again..
With Respect,
God Bless
