Had meant to write earlier but been in hospital for last 5 days with my little girl (nightmare) and just found time to grab a bit of me time.
Had my Band fitted in Derby on 12th June.
Apart from a delay in going down (didnt go down til 5pm) all went brilliantly, was a bit nervous but nothing a shot of some wonderful drug didnt sort out, just gutted I was sent to sleep not long after!
Woke in recovery a few hours later - seems they found a small hernia in there which they kindly repaired for me at the same time (didnt even know I had one!) - wasn't long before I realised I was 'knickerless' -- remember quite clearly only a few hours before getting myself gowned up and keeping my OWN knickers on.
Not only was I knickerless... There seemed to be something 'crinkly' going on.
As I posted before my op, was going to pop a 'post-it note' upon my 'lower' person, I guess as it was quite an interesting topic as to whether our bits would be seen (hence my question should I shave?) and if they did remove your knickers... or not?
I can confirm in DERBY... they do (thank GOD I shaved lololol)
My post it note read ".. You are not privvi to my privet.. "THEY" told me you wouldnt need to.."
Scroll back up to the post op 'crinkly feeling' -- YAY I got a reply stuck back where i'd left mine ".."THEY lied" thanks for the laugh, Theatre Staff.."
Seemed to be a topic of conversation on the ward after lololol.
So back on the ward. No pain at all. Discomfort - yes. Pain no. Paracetamol? Nope. Any pain relief since the op? None what so ever. My wounds are small and very neat and were surgically glued. Swelling subsiding and can feel the port - which is a bit freaky lol.
Have lost 1 stone since the op and back at work tomorrow.
So for me, a positive, text book banding and looking forward to my first check up in anothet 5 - 6 weeks x
