I had 2 other surgeries before this one was a laparoscopy to my lower abdomen and surgery to my lower back never felt numbness so it could be a nerve but if its still numb by the time I see my surgeon I'll definitely inquire

yes the first day I figured maybe they used the same numbing stuff they used when they did my iv but it has lasted 4 days so it kinda worried me like they hit a nerve or something and I've lost feeling forever lol

Right underneath my incision.....its weird, hope it doesn't last long

I guess not get enough protein u need, maybe just act the surgeons office

They say possibly nausea and/or vomiting causing band slippage, your new pouch has to ease into each texture of food maybe do pureed before soft regular foods

Sensa is the only thing I kno that u sprinkle on your food and I think you get that online but other than that I don't know

Lol I'll be able to eat my first meal on my bday I can't wait lol

I just bought my protein shake I got cookies and cream designer whey haven't tasted it yet but I'll be on that for two weeks then to my pureed, the banding classes I went to gave us a list of different kinds we can take: body fortress unjury(online) health wise

I've been ok with not eating right now I've kinda got used to it from the pre surgical diet. I got banded Wednesday, I've lost 6lbs since so I'm not mad the more I lose helps motivate me to go harder I'm just tired of feeling lousy. I walked a few blocks around the neighborhood, which on the norm is a peace of cake walk, but at the end of today's walk I thought I was gonna pass out. I've been feeling sick ever since so I'll just take it easier

I have never felt this exhausted doing so little. Also some nausea, I just finally started feeling some hunger so I got a lil dizzy,

Try a hot shower it helped soothe me some.....ice bag on incision will help swelling go down but was uncomfortable, warm water or decaf tea helped move gas a little. But pain is still here can't wait til I'm pain free.

I tried shower it really helped soothe and somehow move gas

I asked the nurse she said hot showers but no hot water bags it will keep your stomach swollen and tender if you want swelling to go down use ice

I was banded yesterday and I'm in so much pain! I can't get this gas to move any suggestions? No desire to eat or drink just sleep and walk to move gas

No just overnight

Keep me in your prayers today is my surgery day I'm sooooo excited praying all goes well, I'll keep you all posted. To anybody else having theirs today keep me posted! God bless you all!

Everything went good I end up having two surgeries they found a hernia and fixed it. I was sooo out of it yesterday I couldn't keep you posted but I just got home an 1hr ago. I am in pain and full of gas its very uncomfortable but I've been walking a lot to help it move, I'm no where near hungry jus sleepy

30 in total

I go in at 11:45!

God bless!

I just started my two week optifast diet yesterday and my surgery is scheduled for April 25, and I'm really excited! This optifast diet is not too exciting tho, but I do hope to lose while doing it.....I'm definitely ready for this life change. I'm also really happy I found this app your stories and questions are very helpful

I am so excited....I hope everything goes good for us all
