I know they say no drink w meals, but is 2 oz. too much?
SkinnyCubanChick replied to Myndkandi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I saw my surgeon this week and he said the minimum amount of water makes the food slip through the band and that's not how the band works! Weight loss= NO WATER 1/2 hr before or 1/2 hour after! -

Sounds like low blood sugar or dehydration. -

Port incision
SkinnyCubanChick replied to Hdollman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am eight weeks out and can honestly say that just this week I can't even tell where it is! Cannot feel the port anymore! -
Newly Post Op!
SkinnyCubanChick replied to ireallywannabthin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Use a heating pad for the gas. Use it on your back and also on your tummy. Peppermint tea is really good too! -
How much exercise is everyone getting?
SkinnyCubanChick replied to nikils015's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For the lady two weeks I have had company from out-of-state. I did not lose one single pound in those two weeks! Yesterday I walked mile and lost two pounds and today I walked again. Waiting to see what happens tomorrow. For me, no exercise= no loss! -

Banded 4 hours ago...
SkinnyCubanChick replied to Kped's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats and welcome! -
I had very slight bleeding and it looked like it wanted to come apart but I'm in the medical field and I just purchased some steri strips by bandaid and put a new one on for another 10 days! Never even told the doctor. When I went in to see him at 4 weeks. He looked at them and they were fine. You can put noes potion around the opening but not on the open area!

banded 1-22 and just had my first post band "meal"
SkinnyCubanChick replied to zburdeshaw's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Careful you don't tear your stitches around the band. If you do with the weight of SIDS your band can slip or flip! -
December 2012 --- Band Buddies Unite!
SkinnyCubanChick replied to LadyLeigh2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on 12/14, first fill is 2/11. Did not get fill on first post op visit. My Dr. Is a pioneer for lap band in US and he is very careful. Has low complication rate! I am in "bandster hell". But relearning! -
I am almost 6 weeks out and it still gets sore every day. Don't worry it'll go away

Bigger than golf ball lump under port?
SkinnyCubanChick replied to Beth A's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try not to wait too long and don't use a heating paid. If its a fluid pocket the fluid will come up to a boil. I dont mean to scare you but it happened to me with a previous surgery. -
Drink lots more water. Possibly 2-3 liters. Remember many of us go through the " feeling freezing " all the time after surgery. I would take my temp a few times a day and was in sweatshirts all day and I live in central Florida. I am still cold most of the time!
