Hello Everyone ~ I have been home since Wednesday but finally made it on here to post. I had a few complications in the hospital but nothing that was major. I had surgery on Monday a.m. I woke up in post op dry heving. I did that till 400 p.m. Thank the lord my PCA pump was not available til after 400 for some reason. However, the nurse taking care of me realized that it was the morphine that was making me sick. So when my pump did get there they had me on different pain medication. Then I was itchy all night long and my face turned cherry red. That was fun...NOT! But what the problem was they found out, I was allergeric to one of the anti-botics that they were giving me. SSSSOOOOO....... after we got all those little things out of the way, I was released on Wednesday and I am home. I am having some little problems with liquids but I predict it will get better. I don't like alot of sweets and almost all jello, juice and popsiscles as you know are sweet in taste. I am so yicky with the taste that I am getting limited on what I feel like having. Broth is ok but chicken broth almost made me vomit from the taste for some reason....go figure. I have been up and around for a while, taken a small walk with the dog, trying to choke down some watered down juice now and I think I am going to lay down for a while. It is just amazing how tired you get from doing so little. I wish everyone well. KD

Topic: Support Group?

I live in Topeka and would really love to attend a support group somewhere. I was banded on june 5th of this year. I have only talked to the patient consultant once since surgery. I feel as though things are going well, just want to talk about other peoples experiences thus far. My first fill isn't until the end of August. It seems so far away and I don't want to ruin everything that I have acheived thus far. If anybody knows of a support group coming up please let me know.
