Today I'm having surgery for the lap band procedure. I've never had general anesthesia before so I'm really pretty nervous about the whole thing. I report in at 9:30 (which is about two hours before the actual surgery).
The surgery is laproscopic , a band is put around the upper part of the stomach forming a pouch that holds approximately a half a cup of food. The band gives you the feeling of fullness with much less food. Nothing is cut so the food is absorbed normally and goes through the small and large intestine and eliminated normally through the colon.
Today I was on clear liquids the entire day and went through a bowel prep. When I get home I will be on blended foods for the next 4 weeks.
I doubt seriously I'll be home before this evening. Say a prayer for me.

You've been in my thoughts and prayers ALL DAY!!!!!! I didn't call this morning because I wasn't sure what time you were leaving.
Rachel said to tell you she is sooooo happy for you!!!!!!!
Blessings to you my sweet friend and sister!!!
You are in my prayers, too. I am anxious to hear about the surgery amd about how it works for you. After reading about this, I want to look into it for myself. So tell us all about it once you've recovered and feeling well again.
Dearest Daisy, I do hope it all went well today, my prayers and thoughts are with you!! xoxo
