Hi Everyone,
I had my Lap Band surgery on Monday January 24 and it seems as though I can't swallow water or anything without belching. I am currently on an all liquids diet. I am also having a lot pain in my back. any advice for this new bander?
Monday will be 3 weeks post surgery for me. It's been a rough go for me after surgery. My doctor says that my body is not accepting the band as well as most. I still have a lot of swelling and can feel everything that goes down my throat. But there is always a silver lining.... I have lost 17 pounds . I'm going back to work Monday. Putting everything in God's hands!
I was little disappointed when my doctor told me that I would not be getting my first fill. He said that my acid reflux was still too bad. My heart fell to the floor. I will be 6 weeks post surgery on Monday and I was expecting to get my first fill and continue on my weight loss journey. I have lost 23 pounds and I am very happy for that but I am so wanting the weight to fall off. I guess it will be will power for another 4 weeks. My doctor says that I "MAY" get my first fill on my next visit which is March 30. Please pray that I do. I am already starting to feel a little hungry at times and I do not want to gain any of my weight loss back. Not really patiently waiting, but no choice.
