How Y'Doin? Joisey In Da House! Surgeon Questions
newband replied to NeenBand's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
He is excellent and so is the aftercare! I was discharged the morning after surgery. Not a big deal to spend the night in the hospital, the perkocet is great. And truely the pain isn't that bad, more like soreness. I am a week out and feeling great. The hospital is very clean and the nurses were great. I wish you the best of luck. -
How Y'Doin? Joisey In Da House! Surgeon Questions
newband replied to NeenBand's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi, I was just banded by doctor Chou from nj bariatrics. i highly recomend him. he is calm , nice, and very informative. They also accept medicare. Good Luck. The after care in the hospital was great to. He is worth consulting. -
Can you ever eat bread, pasta, or rice, with the lapband? Just curious.

I take a time released medicine that I sprinkle on applesauce, my Doctor said it was fine. Check with your Dr. again.

Hi, I was just banded two days ago. And the thought of having to go through surgery again terrifies me. The pain is aweful and I don't know how long it will last. My surgeon told me my band would last about ten years, at the time I thought that was great. now that i've gone through surgery the idea of going through it scares me. Do we all really have to get them removed at somepoint. I guess it's the post-op blues i am having.

Surgery on April 4, 2007
newband replied to ljwilgenhof's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Congrat's! I was banded on the 3rd, feeling so much better. Glad to hear your surgery went well. -
it is encouraging to hear that the lapband is a lifelong tool. I think my Doctor is being conservative. I am going to talk with him on Thursday, to see why he said apprx. 10 years. Yes , he is an experienced surgeon, he has preformed over 500 lapbands.

Wow, Thanks for the reply's. I just have to get over some of my fears I guess. It's silly really. I am glad to hear that other surgeons say twenty years. My pain is really only when getting in and out of bed or a sitting position. My pain meds kicked in so i am going to walk, because that's what i've learned from this group. Thank you for the encouragement.

HI, This might be a stupid question. BUt I keep reading about people suffering from terrible gas pains after surgery. How bad is it and why does it occur, if you aren't eating? I am having my surgery April 6th and am a bit nervous about the pain.
