Bandita

I was having a hard time sleeping at night. I would wake up with this taste of my lunch in my throat. I bought some meds, BOY, do I feel better! Lou is good, eating finally and still dropping.

Hi Everyone, I was banded on 3/21/07 and I am doing great! I have a #10 band and I am down 9 pounds. My husband was banded on 2/28/07 with a VG band, he is down 37 pounds. It kinda all happened so quick, we saw this add in our local magazine and decided that we needed to due something about our weight my husband BMI was 35 mine was 30. So we gave ourselfs a month to try it on our own, we failed. So we met with the best surgeon we could find that Specializes in lapband, Doctor Joseph Naim, took a loan out and had the surgery, we are officially on our way to a heathier life. My husband's recovery was different then mine, he was down 2 weeks, took all his pain med's and complained all the time. Today he has so much energy, he feels great and sometimes has very little pain in the port area. I on the other hand feel that after 2 C-sections this was a walk in the park. Very little pain medication the first day, absolutely no gas pain. The only thing I do have is that I get sick at night, I feel my Soup from lunch coming up at 1am, its hard to get comfortable in the bed, I get nauseated, so I sit up have some Water, wait a couple of minutes and try to get to sleep again. I constantly have a bad taste in my mouth?? I can't wait to lose a significant amount of weight. BUt I remember looking up at that ceiling in the operating room scarred, nervous and thinking I am adding another 10 years to my life. When I think about last month where I was, I can't believe I did it! Thanks to everyone on this website, with out all the great information I would have never done it! Your knowledge so valuable to me:) . Bandita Banded 3/21/07 238/229/150

Finally, I was banded! I feel good overall, soreness and more pain on my back then the actual incisions. I have not had to much gas until this morning, my stomach feels like theirs a war going on. I tried the hot pad, drank decaf tea, took x-gas nothings working. I felt hunger the second day:cry My husband did'nt get hungry until almost a week later. He was banded 02/28/07 he is down today 35 pounds. We were not required to fast prior, just no eating after midnight the night before surgery. Last night I felt anxiety, BIG TIME, I woke up kinda frecking myself out, I didnt wake up my husband but I did walk a while and finally went back to sleep. Has anyone else felt like me???? Help!!!
