Banded!!!

[ErinRed]

So here I am at the OCC. I was banded this morning at about 0930. I am up and feeling good (not great yet).

I feel like I ate too much at an all you can eat buffett and then got punched in the stomach.

Being up walking is definately helping a lot.

I just want to eat popscicles non stop.

So far everthing has gone very smoothly....

Except the driver was delayed at the boarder and was 2hrs late picking us up at the airport so then they told us that even though I had been fasting all day (NO COFFEE!!!!) they would not take us the the clinic for our pre-sugical work up.

I was worried this would delay the surgery in the morning but had no effect on that at all, I was the first to go back with the good doctors.

Took a nice nap and woke up back in my room.

Great team and Great experience so far!

Erin,

Congratulations on having your surgery! That's a bummer about the delay with the driver but that Border crossing can be a nightmare! It sounds like you are doing good. You are lucky you were first. I was second on surgery day and I liked being near the beginning. I hope you keep on feeling good and that you feel great in no time!

Hey Erin - I totally get the emotions of not getting the pre-op done....especially when you are not exactly sure of what to expect. I went first too the day I had surgery and it was awesome! I fasted too and was starved by 3:00 in the afternoon....that is when we sat down for our meal.

Keep us posted on your recovery!

So I feel pretty good still so far.

I have that feeling like something is stuck in my throat, like mashpotatos or a big pill.

And I dont feel hungry so much as just kinda empty, does that make sense?

I cant believe I have not eaten since Tuesday and all I had then was soup and two rolls at the hotel.

I cant belive it is 4 more days of only clear liquids!

But I can do this, I know I can, I kinda have to now!

I keep finding myself heading towards the kitchen to get something to snack on and then I remember...no more of that.
