The Big Day-Wednesday March 25, 2010

Mar 27, 2010

The day of surgery-very nervous, I was not excited just scared.  I had all the nurses around me asking me a few questions and before I knew it they gave me something to relax and I was taken to this big surgical room and all I remember was looking around the room and ....the nurse waking me up in the recovery room, after it was all over.  Everyone in the hospital was just great and the Surgeon was wonderful, no camplaints about the care. The only thing that I didn't know about was that I was going to be on ice chips until the next day.  Which the nurse expalined to me that they just wanted to make sure the band was in right and I wasn't having any problems- had to have a X-ray and MRI of the upper GI- I had to drink this horrible tasting dye while the radiologist  watched the fluid go down, then after the doctor reviewed it I finally got my first meal a cup of cream of chicken soup  yum tasted so good.  I'm in a lot of pain, my stomach is very sore-I've been taking medicine to elvate the pain.  It feels like I did a thousand push ups.  Hopefully that won't last long.
