Band out and Sleeve Scheduled

Feb 28, 2011

Wow it has been a while since I have written. I had my band taken out on Feb. 11th. They wheeled me into the OR at 2:56 pm and the next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery at 3:57pm! I had an awesome experience....hardly any pain. The most uncomfortable part was a continued coughing and a scratchy throat from the tube! Got a little car sick because it took us over two hours to get home. I ran in the house the second we got home and threw up and immediately was my old self!

Today is Feb. 28, 2011, my husbands' 35th birthday. I went for my follow-up appt at 845am with Dr. Zane. He said everything was fantastic and wanted to know if I had planned on another surgery or not. I said, absoulutely I want the sleeve. He said he thought it was a great surgery for me and thinks it will be the "golden" surgery in the next five years. He told me he was booked up until May but I could pick anytime after that. I chose June 17th, 2011! The reason I chose this date is because the number 17 is a very lucky number for me. Also my kids will be out of school so it will be easier not having to worry about school. I am sooooo excited I am beyond myself. I told Dr. Zane I am going to try and lose 25 to 30 pounds before my surgery. He said that would be wonderful and make things easier for him. I start going back to the gym tomorrow because he gave me the okay.
