Banded 4.23.12
running_scared replied to gwenlyn089's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The port still needs to be within a few inches in any direction, of the large incision. If you are looking to find yours, I'd start feeling around the perimeter of that incision, and working your way out. -

The large incision is used to place the port as well. The surgeon gets to pick where they place the port, so it can be in different locations on different people. -

When I'm not in pain, I can also burp easily. -
I know I am supposed to sip slowly at my Water. I've been able to take larger drinks easily for the last couple days. Well, I think I've drank too much now. My tummy feels really full, and I can feel the water moving around. Anyone know how long this will last? I promise to slow down next time!

I know that for people with a BMI of over about 55 or so, they recommend the VGS over the band. -

I checked their site, USA only. And they aren't on amazon.ca either. Oh well, I'm used to it. -

Omg....cant Lse The Pr-Op Weight!
running_scared replied to hopeo71's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How long have you been on the pre-op diet? Have you been drinking salty things? Maybe try and drink as much water as possible over the weekend, and see if you can weigh less on Monday. -

I'm 8 days out, and I'm feeling pretty good today. I have a dinner party to attend tonight, so I'm looking forward to getting out. I'm not totally sure what I am going to eat though, but I'll figure something out. -

I would also recommend you visit your surgeon, and see what they advise. -
Two Lovers, Trying To Meet, But Something Stands In The Way...

I made myself one package of instant oatmeal, and I couldn't finish it. It was a weird feeling, but I wouldn't say sad, as much as disappointment. -

I too have battled with depression, and I know the relief that comes with the right medication. I wish you all the luck. Good job at joining the support group, hopefully that helps you. -

Sounds like you might need some more pain meds. Also, I only did water for the first 24 hours, then just clear liquids. -

If you are truly getting hungry in between meals, maybe you need more fill? -

I would also suggest maybe switching pill time to the evenings. Good luck! -

I was self-pay. Insurance had nothing to do with mine. -
Maybe try icing it for a bit, and take some Tylenol, and see how it feels tomorrow.

Also, my surgeon says that we are supposed to be looking for satisfaction, not restriction. Maybe you are looking for the wrong thing? -
Maybe the up and down motion bothers the port?

Do you have a dietary plan to follow, from a nutritionist or dietician? -

Chest pains should be evaluated by a doctor. -

I wound up back at the hospital for different pain meds. I am day 8 today, and I think I'm finally done with the narcotic meds. -

Also, don't chug anything. Slow and small sips for everything.
