my surgery was on a wednesday morning and i went home late thursday afternoon. (i enjoyed being there and being watched as it made me feel secure). at the time of my meeting with my surgeon, i asked about same day surgery and he told me that most of his patients went home the next day (and stayed overnight). i to had that xray/barium swallow and urine output and had to do 2 weeks worth of shots in my stomach at home to help against blood clots. i say if a person is (watchful/aware) of their body and keen on looking for complications, i would think they would be okay to go home the same day. i am glad i stayed overnight.

morning charming b***h and big sexy

pink princess or cbg........carolina the bitchy pink princess.....you know that is how i roll

i think jean pretty much explained (why/how come etc). and allowing myself to (chime in), i would assume it is up to the individual surgeon to if they wanted to fill the band at time of surgery. (i would assume during the placement of it). my surgeon did (not sure how much until i get my first fill). i think practicing portion control and good sense can help 100% until someone reaches (their green zone if they ever do). (again, bandwagon author jean stated that pretty clearly).

thats kewl robin........are you on a special liquid diet?? can you tell anything yet?? (sorry to sound dumb)

if gagging, it sounds like you could be swallowing too much or to fast...sip sip.and keep on sipping..you are still swollen so it will feel as if its not going down.dont rush and follow your doctors orders to help with healiing.....as you heal, i know i did, i got hungrier. completely normal...so relax. your band is sewn in so it will could alot to make it slip...but since you are newly banded, that is not the case. do your best not to get sick or vomit. my dr gave me anti nausea meds to help. do you have those?? again, sip and relax. congrats on your surgery

i had this surgery and highly recommend it.. Gastric Plication (Stomach Folding) Gastric Plication is a relatively new procedure that is quickly becoming one of the most popular options in weight loss surgery. It consists in reducing stomach volume by folding the grater curvature of the stomach to its inside part, Forming a tube form or “sleeve type” of pouch, similar to a gastric sleeve surgery, but without THE stomach cutting or stapling required in other surgeries. The pouch is formed by hand stitching and confection. Advantages Reduced Surgical risks compared to a gastric sleeve surgery. There is no foreign body inserted, so there is no foreign body failure. There is no counter indication and a good option for women who would like to get pregnant. It’s a lower cost surgery as it doesn’t require lap band or lap band staple costs. Recuperation time is also quicker than with bypass or gastric sleeve surgeries.

my mom told me i was fat when i was 10 (weighed about 100 pounds). i remember this to this day....36+ yrs later words hurt..
