Any bowlers out there??
itskellyraye replied to Losing_It150's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went bowling about 4 weeks after my surgery and didn't have any problems. You know, it's all about listening to your body and if you feel like you're pushing it to hard then you should stop. -
Now, that I've been able to eat real food, I've definately slacked off a lot. I'm disappointed for doing that, but I get my first fill this week and maybe I'll be able to pick things back up.

Robot doing lap band surgery
itskellyraye replied to JanPuppyLover's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was done by a Doctor but I wouldn't have minded if a robot did the surgery. I took a class last semester about technology in health care and I learned a lot about them. Most robots are still operated by a doctor, just from a distance. Everything is planned out by the doctor before hand and it only has a limited range of motion from where the operation is being done so if the robot does mess up, it's still the doctors fault. And, actually, a robot will have steadier hands than a doctor will and would be able to perform in a quicker fashion. In some cases, it might be better to have a robot do the surgery. I would've trusted it. Haha. -
That seems really fast to be on regular food. I'm 4 days post-op and can't imagine eating regular food yet.. even though I'm tired of soup. You're probably still really swollen and that's why you've had the stuck episodes. But, I agree, protein shakes are the way to go. It should subside your hunger enough to get you to the next meal.

I have these feelings, too. The pain in the chest and everything. It's from the gas they pump into you during the surgery. I'm burping like crazy just to get it out and it hurts alot. And most of the time I can't even tell if I'm hungry or if it is just gas pains so that is probably what you're feeling. I'm just drinking tons of Water and taking my Gas X strips and waiting for it to pass. It gets a little better everyday. \ Just hang in there, we'll all feel normal again soon.

Today is my Lap Band OP
itskellyraye replied to dropsizes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is so funny! I got banded on Monday and that night there was a marathon on Discovery Health about people getting Weight Loss Surgery.. none were Lap Band but still I thought it was funny. Then the next day I saw a commercial for Lap Band through a different hospital than the one that did mine. I'd never seen it before! I didn't know what to think of it. Coincidence or something else? Haha -
Well, this is it. It's finally here. Surgery tomorrow. I'm super nervous and have been having doubts all day. I'm sure that's normal though. Next time I'll be on here I'll be banded..

Tomorrow is the "Big Day"
itskellyraye replied to Scott 72511's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck, Scott! Tomorrow is also my big day! Actually, we'll be at the hospital at the same time. Haha. I'm starting to get super nervous but it'll be worth it once it's all over with. I'm looking forward to hearing how everything went for you. -
That is very true. I guess it's one thing that I'll have to play by ear. Thanks everyone for replying.
