I Am Having A Terrible Sharp Pain In My Left Lung When I Take In A Deep Breath I Spoke To My Doc And He Is Sending Me To The Er! Does Anyone Know What It May Be - It Not Gas As I Can Tell. Other Than That Everything Has Been Fine And Now Im Nervous!
-
i just got an xray at my local hospital and they said are my lungs are clear but in the mean time i just tooks some stool softener because when i told my doctor i have not had any bowel movements since wednsday (the day operation) he said it most likley gas and i need to go the bathroom asap, so i am just waiting to see how i feel untill after i go. I didnt expect to have any bowel movemnts since i wasnt eating anything solid but he said i should be regular! well see... ill keep you posted thanks for asking!

No Fill Lots Of Restriction!?????
Marissa424 replied to Marissa424's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
i am newly banded but i feel that a few sips of liquid fills me ALOT -
it seems that when i lean forward or anything the blood rushes to where my port is and its intense - meaning painful! evern when i use the toilet and have to lean forward to pick up my pants - it hurts more than it any other position - so i dont think that will work for me! anyone else feels this when they lean forward?

Like I Said I Am 4 Days Post - Op And No Matter How Many Times I Brush My Teeth I Have This Horrible Breath And Grittyness To My Teeth - Anyone Else Experiecent This? I Think It May Be From The Gases Still Exiting My Body Throught My Mouth!

I dont think you can eat any of that stuff you mentioned above! i know the first week is clear liquids - meaning anything you can see through and the second week is full liquids (creamy soups and thinned milk shakes etc.) and then mushy food, but i dont think beef stew is good until week 2 or maybe 3

I am actually doing very very well - i just got banded on Wednesday and the pain from the surgery is virtually gone and has been since friday, the only pain/discomfort i am having is this damn gas bubble i have in my chest - it feels like i have to burp but it wont come out. I did not have any pre op diet so the only weight i have lost is since the surg. i have lost 5 lbs and i am not hungry at all!! still on liquids but they are so filling right now. The first few days were scary b/c i had never had any type of surgery before but i dont remember anything about it, i was awake then asleep then up again at which felt like 10 minutes later! At first i had a hard time getting up and out of bed i would forget that i just had surgery and would try to get up like normal and i hurt myself a few times. I think being young as definatley helped alot with my recovery and pain tolerance - i would say that i definatley had more pain with some bad bad periods... Oh and i get really tired after like and hour of being up so i take a knao im planning on going back to school on Monday but well see. any questions please feel free to ask! __________________

Underwear During Surgery?
Marissa424 replied to Tazza's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I Did Not Get To Wear Anythin Besides The Socks They Gave Me Everything Else Had To Come Off - I Thought This Would Be A Problem For Me Too But Honestly Thats The Last Thing They Are Worried About! -

Marissa424 replied to Marissa424's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the hiccups and i felt like killing myself! OMG did they hurt! the pain has gotten better and i guess i overreacted the day after surg. I can only sleep layling down no way on my side and i cant really sit up too well. As far as drinking - 2 -3 sips of water or any other fluids make me so full like i just ate a double cheeseburger. i can get up and down now without any pain and my mom says for a surg. im doing so well - i guess since i never had one before i had unrealistic expectations.... -
