robbynnoel Posted May 8, 2009 Report Posted May 8, 2009 (((((((((IrishRN)))))))))) Congratulations on getting banded. I'm amazed and happy that an hour after the surgery you're feeling wonderful and able to drink juice. Hugs to you and I can't wait to join you in bandland.
IrishRN Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Posted May 9, 2009 Thanks everyone! I'm finally home now. Getting across the board was very easy. The first day we were there it was very quiet in town with everything shut down but by the time I left today... it was very busy. People seemed really happy too. I had a great experience in the city and at the Lucerna... which has Starbucks across the street.... I had a vanilla latte the day before surgery! yum. So far so good though.. sipping on some broth and watching the Lakers own the Rockets!
robbynnoel Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 (((((((((((((((((((IrishRN)))))))))))))))))) It's wonderful to hear you are doing well!
IrishRN Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Posted May 9, 2009 (((((((((((((((((((IrishRN))))))))))))))))))It's wonderful to hear you are doing well! Awwe thanks! I'm amazed that I'm not hungry.. but I'm sure I will be.. lookin forward to chew chew chew after all this liquid is done. Dr Ortiz said just the mere fact that the band is there gives some restriction for a little time.
IrishRN Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Posted May 9, 2009 So I wanted to explain the symptoms I'm having. I figured I'm just getting used to the band and being 2 days post op. I woke up feeling a little tightness every once in a while that comes and goes. Same place where the band is. I'm drinking a little coffee to warm it up and it seems to be helping. Anyone experience this post op? btw... the coffee is definately helping!
