I had my band put on Monday. Its now Friday. I am feeling pretty good and so far I am very happy I did it. Its doing what it is supposed to - I can hardly finish my protein shake.
Still swollen and feeling like my belly is extended. I have weighed myself and have not lost anything since surgery. I have been told this is due to the IV fluids and just surgery in general. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Also, I have been walking a little everyday and feeling better by the day. But the inside of my stomach is still pretty sore. It really hurts when I get in and out of bed or up/down from a chair. How long does that part usually last?
Any info would help!
A little back round as I am not sure where I am supposed to post my info about myself.
32 yrs old
have PCOS
278 at first dr consult
269 after 5 weeks on weight watchers
265 after 1 week on the liquid shakre pre-band
one week until surgery
Contemplating surgery.
Can I do this on weight watchers and get a personal trainer to whip me in to shape?
I am one week away from surgery. I have been on the liquid diet for one week, and I am STARVING!
So far by reading blogs the results to the banding are not all so positive. Can anyone help me with ANY info or your thoughts about this surgery? Would you do it again?
