BOONEBANG replied to spoiltmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

My Dr said I couldn't lift anything over 20lbs for 4weeks after surgery. It took my port area about 4wks to not give me any discomfort.

I was banded 14 days ago and i'm on the pureed stage, but 2 days ago I had half a ceasar salad wrap and I was stuffed. I find that you can eat most of the samethings as long as you chew chew chew. I usually go for 25x then swallow -
What to eat what not to eat That is the question!
BOONEBANG replied to beccaboolane's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
During my first week I did exactly what my nutritionist told me to eat. 3 protein shakes a day and 1-4oz of liquid an hour. On my first week post op visit I lost 22lbs. As far as drinking slow, I don't really drink much different from before surgery. The only big different is the amount per sip I take in, but i definitely don't wait 5min between sips. -
I was banded yesterday morning and upon being awaken I was pleasantly surprised by not alot of pain at all. My left shoulder does hurt and my stomach just feels like I did 1million sit ups,but the those are normal. I was walking about about an hour after being let out of recovery room. All in all so far, so good on being banded.

How Many Guys Getting Banded?
BOONEBANG replied to gettinthelapbandtogether's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As I typing this i'm being discharged from the hospital from being banded yesterday morning. I honestly feel great! If there is one thing that I would need to complain about it would be my stomach feels like I did 2million sit-ups, but the pain is 4 out of 10 easy now. Yesterday it may have been about 6.5, but I was walking an hour out of recovery......Good Luck to you -
My Band date is 4/25/11 and Good Luck to all on their weight lose journey. T.B.

Congrats! I take it by your name that your in jersey....if so who is doing your band? I have Dr Strom out of glen ridge as my band surgeon. -
Congrat on the decision to change your life! I had my consultation yesterday and everything was straight forward. I filled out paperwork, they went over it with me, I got a mini physical, and lastly the surgeon explained about the band and what my insurance required for me to get the band.
-
Your doing great, Keep up the good work! I pray I have results like you.
-
Thats great to hear! I'm not 100% sure, but I believe its up to the insurance as to whether or not you'll do the 6 month monitored diet. I didn't even contact my insurance I just set up an appointment with my surgeon and he let me know what my insurance required from me in order to do the surgery.

Good Evening All! I'm very very excited in started my new weight loss journey. For so long was in denial of having a weight problem, but after hitting the 330lb mark and having my family of 5 to worry about.....I know that lap-band would be best for me. January 24, 2011 was the first meeting with my Doctor( Dr. Strom) and Feb 1, 2011 is my1of3 nutritionist meetings. I will keep you all posted!!
