Im Home !!!!!!!!!!
Apr 22, 2009
Im home and feeling ok...I went in on monday at 11 and they took me right away,I started having some doubts and anxiety on the operating table but I knew if I didn't do this I would be dead soon,I started having high blood pressure and my body hurts all the time I hated the person I became,so I stayed and they put me in lala land,then I woke up and I hated the operation,I had to have Open RNY and it sucks right now. I was in so much pain and yes i said it a few times I wish I didn't do this,My family came in and seen me I was telling Steve I shouldn't have done this, he was great ,rubbing my head,saying You will be ok, they left and i laid there thinking I was going to die, but then the night nurse came in ,first thing she said is " my name is Mari and I had lap band done, you will have regrets but it gets better". So after talking to her and crying I did feel better. She washed me and then I was told I was sitting up,not even 12 hours went by and they want me to stand OUCH ...but I did it,I kept telling myself I can do this also I did it to myself....So then I was put in my own room after being in recovery for 26 hours,the hospital was very busy & over booked with operations. I was in my own private room, my sister in law works in the hospital and i was taken care of ....So i figured i would do better in there,nope, I was in pain and miserable. I just wanted to go home.I walked the halls,cryed some ,got pain meds at first every 4 hrs then they changed it to every 3 hours,which helped,Its time to go to sleep I look at the bed and wanted so bad to jump in it,it just looked so comfortable,but we know u can't jump with a 6 inch cut so I tried to some how get comfortable,but that didnt work either ,I had a great nurse and she would every 2 hrs and 40 minutes be there with my pain meds.Well I didnt sleep that night either. I came home wednesday night around 730pm,and i have 6 dogs that missed me so much, I had to be blocked like the president walking in my house,but I made it in and didnt get kicked in the belly.I got situtated and wanted to sleep next to my man.So we got in bed it was alittle easier when u have someone right there to help,I wasntreal comfortable but I was home and snuggles to my man...Its thursday and Im feeling ok,Im trying to figure my vitamins,liquids and walking..Thank you everyone that wrote,I will get back to all soon... I am going to rest ...I can't wait to start losing my weight and I can't wait to say I love my RNY................
