It's Official I'm Banded

Surgery went well! While inside the surgeon repaired a hernia too. I arrived at 8 and went back to the OR at 11. Once I got the happy juice I was out. I woke up in recovery and was taken to my room for my overnight stay. I was NOT allowed to drink or sip anything for the entire day (what torture) the lady next door drank the mouthwash and while tempted I knew better. I was up every two hours to pee thanks to the iv. The hospital is no place to rest. Woke up at 7 and went for swallow test I saw the band (have to give her a name)swallow some type of syrup watched it drip into the band and was given clearance to drink water!

I haven't had any real pain so I haven't touched the pain meds. I have a little gas not much. I'm excited to be able to sleep on my left side even though the port is there.

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes they are appreciated!

Now let the games begin!
