It's finally done!
Jan 03, 2009
I am finally done!!! Had surgery on Monday and got home Friday evening. Not the best of experiences with the hospital-- see my reviews. I still have a JP drain that I hate and can't wait to get out. (dreading that procedure as well) Apparently the drain end is right next to my diaghragm and talk about pain when the nurses "milked" it. I told Dr A that it felt like they was trying to pull a rib out of there with that drainage. Thats when he told me that it was probably up against my diaghragm but that it could move--- It hasn't yet so,,, NO MILKING!. I think as long as it drains--- I'm good.My worse pain (other than that rib that was trying to escape) was in my lower back and mid shoulders. Partly gas and lying in that bed for so long. Probably a little of the OR table too. I was in there for 5 hours instead of the expected 2-3. ( due to removing the band)
Maybe I'm a wimp but still very sore. Trying my best to get in my fluids. Can't wait to put some cottage cheese or a scrambled egg in my mouth!!! ha
No change in weight yet. ( I know I should wait, but just had to check!) At least I'm seated on the "bench" now.
