Hey Banders. . . Would.just.like.to.ask for.happy thoughts to.go.out.for.me since you all are my "Band Fam". . . I'm 20 days post op and have suffered great complications with.infection and torn muscle around.my incision.site of where my port is . . . Worst pain.EVER!! I had such a great time post op after being Banded on.Aug. 29th everything seemed to.be going.right and then 4 days post op I was trying.to.get into bed on my own and I.felt.something.literally tear, the.pain was so intensed I.literally saw black.spots like.I.was.going.to.black.out. So, I then went back.to.work.the.next day and began the.worst nightmare I could.of.ever imagine. I only lasted 2 days at work and I.have been down in bed with pain & not.just any pain . . .painthat can only have relief if taking strong.pain.meds every 4 hours.on the dot. . . Sad to say.that it.has come.to.this . . . My.port is anchored and sutured to.the muscle that was torn so.it began.to move continuing to tear the rest

Sad to say.that it.has come.to.this . . . My.port is anchored and sutured to.the muscle that was torn so.it began.to move continuing to tear the rest of the muscle, this is why surgery is happening again.they need to.access my port to.resuture and anchor so please keep me in your.prayers and.thoughts . . . I'm praying for.a.quick recovery so.I.can.get.back.to.my Fabulous Weight loss ! Thanks .

Hey Banders . . . I am.post op Day4 & I just want to share a positive testimony on the LapBand. I was banded 8/29/13 & my experience has been Awesome! I have followed protocol to.the tee and has made Gas X and walking a must for at least a 1/2 hour a day, especially after drinking/eating . . . Have a great morning routine. I take my liquid vitamins, Mirilax stool softner,and antibiotics, all spaced out so that Im not all filled up with liquids, then I walk a bit to get it all going through allowing myself to burp and allow that full filling to subside. Then I go and get ready for the.day and by this time I am.ready to start a Protein Shake to.make sure I get that important protein in. But today for.lunch I wanted some soup and I used my Nutri Bullet to put in some homemade chicken.soup with all the fresh vegetables you can imagine and pureed the crap out of it and warmed it on the stove and maaann . . . It was Fabulous!! I thank God that my Nutri Bullet not only Helped me through my pre op diet but is now going to be used for the rest of my Lapband journey . . . Hope this has been a positive testament for someone!

Just had my band 2 days ago. . . The best thing I could have ever done. . . From the moment I got home I walked around my house at first 15 mins. Now I am.up to 1/2 hour. . . But my life saver has been the Gas X melts . . . I actuallu took one as soon as I woke up.from surgery. I have not experienced pain at all or any nausea or vomiting thus.far Thank you Jesus! But walking is the key at least for me ,but You will feel it in your muscles each day. . . I look at it as I'm getting a jump on my movement that they keep telling us about. . .good luck.to.all the Banders out there I lok forward to hearing and seeing all our journeys to a healthier and better US!!
