Today is the big day! I am excited one minute and having doubts the next. I know this is normal and I have been listening to too many family members talk of stories they have heard. As I sit in the waiting room at the hospital I question myself as to having the lap band instead of the gastric. When they call me into the pre surgery room my nurse, who I do so appreciate tells me it isn't too late to change my mind, but I should remember why I am having this surgery and chose the gastric over the lap. Now I am fine.  
After surgery I was soooooo sick. I was throwing up alot of fresh blood and was so nauseated.  When the nurses called my doctor he assured them I was ok, I had oozed during surgery and it would stop.  And it did.  I thought "what the heck have I done to myself". The nurses kept bugging me to walk. However I was so sick and I kept promosing them I wasn't a whinney baby. When I finally agreed and stood up and starting getting sick again, they quickly layed me back down. After being so sick for about 12 hours I finally walked for them. I was sooo ready to feel better and go home.
