Hello,
I am a week post op and feeling pretty good. Now that I am no longer on the liquid Oxycoten I am feeling a little uncomfortable. Decent amount of swelling between the port and band incision. I was a little worried at first, because the swelling has not gone down, but my nurse said it was normal. The day after I was released, I was back in the emergency room for dehydration and shortness of breath.My stonach was so full of gas, that I wasn't able to get all the fluids I needed. So now I am on Lovenox for a month to prevent blood clots.
But now I am doing well, not hungry at all, actually, I have to remind myself to eat(drink).
Good luck to the future bandsters!
