Banded

Well, that's it...it's done! I'm banded. At 10am on Wednesday 31st March 2010. Doc Watson discovered that I also had a large hyatis hernia that needed repair, in the process. I'm not at all surprised given the bad reflux/heartburn I have suffered in the last couple of years. So two ops for the price of one! Lets hope that this is the start of something new and something wonderful! Feeling ok. Bit lethargic and a tad sore, but otherwise ok. The gas bloating wasn't something I was prepared for, nor the shoulder tip pain. Even though I'd read about it, it was much more painful than I had expected. I am excited and wary all in one. I cannot wait for this to unfold, but I'm nervous about doing it the right way and about all the restrictions that are going to be on me. After spending most of the day in bed today, I thought it would be nice to get out of the house for a bit. Everything I thought of to do involved food! Not that I feel hungry at all, its just an association of food with being social. So, I went out for a walk with my gorgeous partner along the coast. It felt like a breath of fresh air! So glad to be out of bed!
Anyway...here we go!!!!!!!!! Let's begin this journey!

Hello Blog World!

Wow! I am totally new to this. I have no clue what I am doing...but here I am doing it! I feel I need to. I have to record this journey, whether just for me or others considering going down this track. I have drawn so so much inspiration from other band blogs that I have read and if i could offer just a little of that inspiration to someone else, I'd be really happy!
