I'm so happy to join y'all as an official LAHOOOOOSER!

I have my very own banana...and he's all mine.  I've decided to currently name him PITA.  Pain in the ass....as I'm actually in pain.  I know it was surgery...but I've had several and never felt this much pain.  Oh well, I guess it makes sense when you start kicking your internal organs out of your body (SHUN!) that they wouldn't go without a good kicking and screaming fit. 

All of you were right...I needn't have been so stressed about the liver.  Dr said it looked beautiful (I think a doctors relationship with our internal organs is the same as a mother's relationship with alien fetus from planet womb).  He said there was quite a bit of scar tissue from the previous lap band but he said it was expected and such.

The best part of this trip has been my husband.  He was scared and nervous and still managed to drive 14 hours to get us here without killing me for chattering on and on and on (which I do when I'm nervous).  He hasn't wanted to let me out of his site....last night he slept in the recliner that he pulled right up to the edge of my bed...and he held my hand all night long.  Around 3am, he was cold so he went to sleep in the pull out murphy bed and he laid there with his feet to the headboard so he could be up closer to me...within reaching distance if we needed to hold hands or whatnot. 

Surgery is as surgery does...and I'm excited for this second part of the journey.
