So it looks like i will be banded the week of july 9th. Anyone else around the same time. What kind of preop diet to you have to look forward too

mine is doing that from the strips they put on. i just been using anti itch stuff

i get hiccups and sneezes if i eat to fast or something spicy

i had sharp pains too. i was told they were spasms. i haven't had any since the first week though

my port is right above my belly button

i think the only way they can do it is general anesthesia and my post op restrictions are no lifting more then 30 lbs for 3 months. i had laperscopy 5 incisions

Two and a half weeks post op starting to want to eat a little more now. I think chew is really it. Start pureed this weekend. Down 12 lbs since surgery.

call your insurance company on your own and be pushing. my was mailed in at first and was told 3 weeks. i waited a week and called the insurance company UHC and they said to fax it. Then it was approved like the next couple of days.

get your gas strips drink plenty of water and water you will be fine. i was scared to go under but i woke up and just some pressure from the gas and hardly any pain.

i am 2 weeks post op and now on my full liquid diet. i lost 13 lbs my first week and now this week nothing i keep going up and down 3-4lbs. why am i not lossing anymore so disappointed. i am following my diet to the T. i can only have 1/4 cup of something every meal and snack in between. i started adding the protein in this week also and i am allowed to have cream of soups, sf pudding,jello, broth, sf popcicles, yogurt. all the water i want which i am finding it hard to just sip it seems like i can't get enough water throughout the day always thirsty. ugh frustrated.

i had hardly any pain just soreness. after the first week i was able to push down on it and feel it without no pain

same here had no appetite either and i am two weeks post op. i eat my six little items a day like i am suppose to but still not hungrey yet. i guess that is to our avantage

Can anyone else feel there band. I notice after i have my liquids i can feel my band get tighter. Plus i can actually feel it through my stomach. It gets hard there like a baby's butt pushing when your pregnant. Is this normal. It doesn't hurt just feel pressure. It's kinda cool actually. And i can feel my port now. I still have cushin now what is it going to be like when i do get skinny.

so you can't feel it by pushing on that area of the abdomen. what is that hard thing under my left side ribs.

no not visible. But it is just under the skin. All it feels like is a hard bump under your skin. You can feel the shape of it completly. i just find it weird i can feel the band itself

congrads i hope i am that lucky on got 2 weeks down next week start my pureeds where you affraid to start eating regular food again that is were i am at. Totally satisfied with my liquids worried about solids

if you are staying the night i recommend he take off the next day to take you home. You will want someone there. At the hospital you have the staff to take care of you. He can alway come see you when he gets off work the day of surgery.

i am back to work and doing normal activity. i was banded the 10th. Still get a little sore sometimes or it feels like it you ever been pregnant the babies butt in under my ribs but that is it. Still a little fatique but i am sure that will pass soon. i have a very active job so i am moving around constantly.

i feel ya. after i got staples taken out on the 16th, they put the strips on and they had not fallen off yet but they sure are itching. i was banded on the 10th. Do you every get a stinging pinching pain near your stomach. This weekend i don't know if i moved wrong or what but man that hurt and then it happen a couple times again. just curious.

I am 2 weeks post op and I keep getting a pinching pain on my left side they can be very painful just happens every once in awhile.

Thanks everyone not expecting to lose 13pounds a week but I'm just hoping to still see at least a pound or two come off. I guess just overwhelmed and I guess just overwhelmed and over excited
