Oh yeah! I'm sure you're all clear for sit ups by now! If it's getting tight though, I might ask your Dr... It's probably nothing, but it's better to ask in my opinion! And no sit ups forever? Yikes! I'm sure she'll be OK to do them at some point in the future! We need to tighten the muscles up some how!!

I'm almost 3 weeks post-op, and I was told NO to any AB exercises. Because the muscles are still healing from the port and the surgery. I don't think I'll be able to do them for another 2ish weeks. However, I want to do ab work outs SO bad. I've never wanted to so bad in my entire life!! haha Did you ask your Dr if it was okay? Maybe see what he/she says. The tighter feeling might be additional swelling? That's what I was told that could possible happen since it's not totally healed yet. Be careful!!!

I had my two week post op appt today! Things went so great! I'll be getting my first fill in 2 more weeks! This is apparently 2 weeks sooner then normal because I'm healing so well! So EXCITED!

Had a bad day today... questioned my choice to get banded. Might of (well did) eat too much. And to top it all off, I'm lonely. I feel like I haven't been able to hang out with my friends since my pre-op diet started which was about 3 weeks ago

As far as I know, we can still drink. Probably a few months after surgery or when the Dr clears you though. It won't be the same as bypass people where they get drunk quickly. We just have to be mindful of drinking too quickly and calories from liquid.

This is great! Thank you! I was banded 3/29 and get so annoyed when I see people being pessimistic about the Band. It'll work if you WANT and MAKE it work!!! This doesn't mean eating and drinking like you did before! Thank you!!!!! Congrats on your success! -
Pain around Port area
MsKate83 replied to MelBanded's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 3/29 and I too have the discomfort. It's mostly when I lay on my side. It feels like something (port) is digging into my organs and ribs I'm glad to hear other people having this pain, and that it's normal. I thought I was losing my mind -
Glad to see/hear things are going well! Things with me are going pretty good, starting to add more food in and exercise in. Still out of work for another week or so, so I can relax and finish healing up. I'm still sore sometimes. And the weirdest thing, I can feel my port when I lay on my side! I hope when I'm smaller I don't feel it even more! That'll be uncomfortable!

did everyone have to see a psych doctor ?
MsKate83 replied to cpdpjp55's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon's program requires that EVERYONE see the therapist. She has to clear it. Basically she wanted to make sure I understood the surgery, what it would mean. If I had a support system. Did I understand this wouldn't solve the problem, but instead provide me with a tool. I think it was good to know that even post op if I wasn't feeling great I could go back to her. My surgeon recommends to everyone a group of doctors to get all the pre op stuff done because they are family with WLS and know what's involved. Good luck with all your pre-op testing!!
