I'm Home!!!
I did it!!!! I am finally gonna be a loser...and ya know it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I got really emotional an hour prior and couldn't stop crying. I was thinking about backing out cuz my brother called me crying and told me not to do it cuz i might die.....i hardly ever get any emotion out of my brother who is my best friend....so that was really hard. BUT I DID IT!!!! and I can't wait to post my weight loss!!!
Not as bad as I thought it was going to be! I went to the hospital, checked in, and was immediately taken to pre-op where they had a real hard time putting my I.V.'s in. That was probably the hardest part. I swear it took 4 nurses to put my second I.V. in because they couldn't find any veins at all. I waited a little while and was crying so the nurse asked me if I wanted my mom to come back and wait with me and I said Hell Yes. So my mom came back and told me everything was going to be ok. And I swear I talked to everyone I knew on her cell phone in the hour I was waiting. Then the anesthesiologist(lol I have no clue how to spell that) came out and I told him I had a little cold and he said he thinks it would be alright but the worse thing that could happen is the breathing tube would have to be in longer. But that was very unlikely. He gave me something to calm down, which I don't think really helped cuz I was still crying. Then about 3 minutes later another nurse comes out and says its time. And she wheeled me into a room that was through a big door and the room was waaay bigger than I thought but looked exactly liked the surgery rooms I see on House and ER(lol I love house) and then she made me get on this little black bed that I didn't think I was gonna fit on and she put the arm things up and asked me where I was from and thats the last thing I remember.........then I woke up and couldn't see very well. Everything was sooooo blurry. And all the nurses were talking to me. And I said I'm gonna throw up I'm gonna throw up....then she said ok we are giving you something for that....but I didn't even throw up...lol....Then they wheeled me to my room and I slept most the day. I woke up in the evening and screamed to my mom I'm gonna be skinny now!!!! And went back to sleep.....she said it was funny...The morphine pump was heaven.....they made me get up and walk that night and it was easy....not as bad as I thought it was gonna be....I didn't sleep that much that night because I slept all day and I was scared that if I went to sleep for a long time I couldn't push the button for the morphine pump so I would wake up in pain....but there really wasn't that much pain...I thought it would be waaaay more painful. Then the next day they took my morphine pump and gave me liquid loritab...and told me to get up and walk as much as possible....so I did....Then the next day I went home and it has been smooth from there.........Wow thats a long story lol.....so have u had ur surgery yet?

One of the things I remember between the time they gave me the happy ****tail and getting put out for surgery is being wheeled into the OR and literally thinking WOW this looks NOTHING like the ORs I see on TV... its funny that even as High as I was that thought went through my head for awhile.... then i was out........ hahah.. glad you are doing well... it only gets better! !
