The Deed is Done!

Dec 11, 2009

I have left the gate - let the marathon begin!

Well it is offical - I was banded on 12/10/09!  I came through surgery great.  I had the option to stay overnight in the hospital or go home - I opted to stay and wished later that I went home. I came home yesterday and I feel great.  I was given a script for tylenol w/ codine for pain and did not even fill it. 

I cannot say enough about Dr Ballem and his staff - they are fabulous! (THAT IS A STANDING O FOR THEM!)

If I had to pick out one negativeis that I feel like I am in the middle of the desert - I am soooooo thirsty - I have been trying to stick to my little medicine cup, but honestly I am able to tolerate more so I am sipping and sucking ice all day long.

I am down 7 lbs already in the 2 days since surgery - and am now probably the lightest I have been since high school school.  I bought a pair of progress jeans in a size smaller than I thought I was with the goal of wearing them on Christmas - they actually fit! - now that is what I call progress!

I have onederland in my sights - look out here I come!
