Just had my surgery June 16, 2010

Ow. No lie. Ow, ow, ow. Most of the gas has gone, but still have pain in my left side (under a rib) every time I breathe. Makes it very hard to do my breathing exercises. Doctor has me on liquid hydrocodone every 4 hours but it isn't real effective. I'm not usually such a whiner, but will be glad when the healing stage is over. Plan on returning to work on Monday. I totally love my doctor, though, and have no regrets. Have a follow-up with her in a week. My heaviest weight was 299 (approx 6 weeks ago). Weighed 285 on day of surgery. 135 lbs to go.

I bow to the power of the band.

OK, I was complaining about feeling no restriction. Finally had an episode where I felt it big time about 10 days or so. I was either not chewing well enough or something got stuck or I ate too much. Whatever it was, it felt like a heart attack in my stomach! Lasted for 45 minutes and the sweat poured off me in sheets. Can't believe how quickly the brakes are put on! I promise to be good from now on!!

Got my first fill but can't feel any restriction

Got my initial fill on Friday. Doc ended up adding 3cc to my original 2.9 ccs. Couldn't feel the jello or water entering my stomach like I was supposed to. Today ate a whole can of vegetable beef and felt nothing. Maybe I should have eaten the can itself!! I know what full feels like, anywhere from just full to Thanksgiving full. Don't know how much saline my band will take, but I see further restriction down the road. Next visit in 3.5 weeks, unless my doctor has her baby early! Take your vitamins and move your butts, friends, or you will get scolded by your doctor every time! Anybody else not feeling the restriction?
