I have an infection as well. My surgery was 11-4. I am hoping its just an issue with the stitches and nothing that will hang around for any length of time. I am using triple antibiotic as well. I see my dr again on Monday. Probably going to get my first fill then. We'll see

KDe628 replied to KDe628's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Oh Sherry, THank you I will..........I have so many questions. Look for it privately from kellydeford@comcast.net -
I need a partner. I am NOT liking navagation of this site. It is hard to find what I am looking for and I need just to have someone to speak to directly. Anyone interested in just speaking banding with a married 41 yo female?

Janet, I am having some REAL frustration with this site. I would appreciate if you helped me through some of the Junk of it. Also, I just need to see if I can chat with you sometime to work out some of my questions. I have been so hungry the last two days and I was banded Thursday. Are you willing to offer some assistance of your knowledge? I would appreciate it, Kelly

Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Wisconsin
KDe628 replied to baraboodan's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I do believe that Iron Sharpens Iron but I am a female, and married. Still interested in online buddy? When were you banded I am looking for someone with at least 6 months experience as I was banded last week. Let me know. -
Kat, So much to say. My name is kelly. My personal email is kellydeford@comcast.net. I need two things that I am hoping your experience can help with. One is SUPER simple I want to add a ticker, can't find any instructions on doing so. Also, I am STARVING. I had surgery on Thursday this is Monday. My diet is supposed to be full liquid. What am I doing wrong? 4 ounces of a meal of cream soup or yogurt and I am just not satisfied. Any suggestions? thanks from a real newbie, Kelly

My surgery was Thursday. That day I was only able to have ice chips. I did really good. Found that if you go ahead and get moving you will feel better. The worst part of the surgery is the gas they use to inflate you. It causes the bloat and the pain you feel after surgery to lessen. The more active you are the better you feel. I would like to know more about people's port. Where my port is there is some swelling. I would like to know if it feels like it is protruding from now on. Friday I had the upper GI. Wasnt as bad as the pre op UGI.....I guess. At least it isnt chalky and you dont have to drink as much. Slept good Friday night. Doesnt hurt to lay on my side which is a good thing. Ate creamed etoufee today that my husband cooked. It was SOOOO good. He is a treasure to be so creative. Best meal in 10 days!!!:smile2:

Robert, I walked, I stood instead of sitting. I took GasX and the gas has gone. Perhaps, it just hasnt been long enough. I did take liquid lortab to stop the pain. Perhaps that made the difference for me. I do have a question though, can you feel your band? I only feel my port. -
I think he is rude, but that's just me. Sometimes I think doctors and surgeons have an arrogance about them that makes them think their perfect. Like "I did the surgery laproscopic, if your having pain there must be something wrong with you". It is absurd to think that you would have surgery and experience no pain. I was kind of afraid of a bm as well just because of straining. I did not experience any problem so try to relax. I also have not taken tons of pain meds. For one, I am on liquid lortab and it tastes like crap! 2, I just feel the more I move around the better I feel. Of course, I am only 1 day ahead of you so I have zero experience... LOL but hang in there. Know that there is something that you can take to ease your pain and I found that standing helped alot even if I didnt move.

Dr. Forrest Ringold did my surgery. He did some cutting edge stuff for my daughter a couple of years ago and I liked him. That's why I chose him. He is kinda young but he is a nice guy and really confident without being arrogant.

I too feel very novice at this site as there is a LOT to consume. My surgery is in the morning. I have to be there at 5 am. I do not have to drink castor oil. Thank God. I could have done magnesium citrate easier than castor oil. By the way I am Kelly. I have tried to keep this process kind of private, so I didnt want to just throw it out there in case someone I know, that I would not have intended to know saw my name. I am on billboards in my area for my business so just private. I read on here about people who felt like they told too much outside of this safe haven and regretted it. One wrote that she feels every bite she takes is judged. I could see that happening. She also said since it is slower than GB she felt like a failure. This process has enough going on without adding extra drama. Dont you think?

Today is Sunday before my surgery. I am anxious and my back is hurting. Tomorrow begins clear liquid. Today has been a struggle just to feel good. Woke up with a headache and had the cold sweats all day. Hope tomorrow is easier. :thumbup:

Hello Dawn, I am Kelly. My band date is 11-4. Right now I have struggled today with cold sweats and tomorrow I start clear liquids. Hope you are doing well.
