I was banded with the Realize band Friday morning at 7:32am at Penn State Hershey Medical Center.  Everything went great with the surgery, I was discharged at 2:30pm the same day.  When I woke up from surgery I had ALOT of gas pain in my chest, which made it really hard to take deep breaths.  By Saturday the gas pains were gone!  I was really expecting those to stick around for awhile but now I think I'm getting dehydrated...auggh!  I'm been following my diet to a T but I've had diarrhea, my skin is pinkish and warm to the touch and I just had a nose bleed!  I'm up now (its 12:53am) sipping on some iced water.  I never thought this was going to be a walk in the park.  I'm going to go to my local hospital first thing in the morning, hoping they will give me an iv.
Thanks for listening! Amy

Oh, my sorry!  At the hospital I was given IV fluids and sent home.  They told me to take Imodium but I waiting until I could call the dietician at Hershey.  They were very very helpful!  She told me to get a probiotic and it worked!  By Tuesday no diarrhea!  All aches and pains are gone and I'm off my pain meds!  I've lost 19 lbs so far.  I know some will prolly come back when I start to eat real food again.

Sorry for the bad message board etiquette!
