Jolaine

I'm at 10cc and I feel some restriction but I am not losing any weight infact I've gained a few pounds so I feel you.

My name is Jolaine and I just got banded on the 21st. Dr. Simon from Syracuse, NY is who did my band. I feel great except for being sore of course. Only problem is I found that I have a little bit of bleeding coming from one of my incisions. Itʻs not much so Iʻm not gonna get freaked out about it. Think I did a little too much walking but hey I needed to get my son his Easter things right. Iʻve noticed that a lot of you said that you donʻt start your soft diet for 7 days, on the instructions I got when I left the hospital I can start after 5 days. Having a hard time with the medication they gave me, I donʻt know what to dissolve it in because it taste nasty. Any suggestions?

My primary care doctor is on post but the surgeons are about and an hour from where I live. I had to drive down there a lot but it is so worth it. My surgeon gave me a list of things that I needed to get done. I was a little nervous about a psych evaluation but it was a breeze. Good luck and let me know how things are going for you. By the way the sleep test is to see if you have sleep apnea, they found that I do so I have a machine and had to take it to surgery with me.

I have Tricare Prime myself, and I just got banded on Thursday. Where are yʻall stationed? Tricare requires a lot, you need to see the nutritionist, a psych evaluation, and get a sleep test done. I started the whole process in May of last year and because I didnʻt know about the sleep test it got my surgery pushed and pushed. I was originally scheduled for September/October time frame. But all said, I finally got it done and I am so happy!

I just got banded on the 21st of April and just noticed that I have a tiny bit of bleeding from one of my incisions when I move. Is that normal? I canʻt wait to start losing!
