RACAL

Does anyone on this Blog come from the Andover,Ma.area?
I need to find a support group fast.
I am only 4 months in and already using food as an emotional crutch to some hard times.
The scary thing is that It actually hurts to eat certain foods and yet I am anyway.
If this is not a sign that I need help,I do not know what is.
So if anyone knows of any place I can go to talk to other People who are going through what I am..I would really appreciate it.
The place I got the Surgery only meets once a Month and not at a convenient time for me.

I had my surgery on Friday and besides them finding a Hernia,went well.
I thought I would be so much more sore than this..the gas pain is no fun but can deal with it.
At what point will I start to feel "normal" again?

I am only a little over a week past my surgery..however the incision on my ride side is very sore.
I also feel a bump under it. Is this where the port is located?

I am having my Lap Band Surgery tomorrow.
I keep reading about all this pain and weight gain from the surgery.
Does this happen to everyone?

I wanted to write this because I know before my Lap Band surgery last Friday,I spent months reviewing blogs. I really wanted to hear from patients who had the same surgery I was having,at the same place.
I had my surgery last Friday 12/21/12 and could not have been more impressed with the whole process.
Everyone was on top of everything,attentive and kind from the Pre-Op Nurses to the Doctors.
The overnight Nurses and assistant I had were so kind and had great attitudes every time I hit that beeper!
My one bad experience was the day Nurse on the day I was discharged...no personality and not on top of anything.
However how can I complain when up to that point everyone was so wonderful!
The staff there provides great care,are very specific on what needs to be done post-op and have not problem answering all the questions I asked.
I had Dmitry Nepomnayshy and he came to see me Pre-Op and was very nice.
So if your a Lahey patient and not sure if you should get this done there....you can relax and know they will take good care of you.
