Dr. Enochs is the best around. He did my surgery on December 27th and I had no problems. He gave me a choice if I wanted to stay in the hospital since my surgery was so late in the afternoon and I told him I would go home if there were no problems. Lisa Long and the rest of his staff is also very nice and very helpful. Everything they told me has been true and the book they give you to help you along the way is the best. I have read that book a thousand times. I have now lost 20 pounds and I feel great.
<p>I was banded on the 27th and I have had some gas pain, but I have yet to have a bowel movement. I know this is a grosss thing to ask, but is this normal? I am in no pain at all, no fever & drinking my fluids. So what is the deal?</p>
My surgery was at 4:30 on Thursday and I came home that night by 10:00. I was Nausea yesterday for about 4 hours. Today I have been walking around, taking deep breaths and drinking alot of clear fluids. So far, getting back on my feet has been the biggest help.
I also got banded on the 27th and I have lost 9 pounds. I am really sore and tired. But I found out that apple juice with your vitamin and that will give you a little energy. I live in NC, so keep me posted....
Just came from my doctors and he told me that I would be getting the new and improve Lap-band. He just came back from medical conf. in Atlanta and the new band was better and reduce the time to heal. He started using the new band 1 week ago today. He had check on his patients and they were all doing good. So now I am really ready!!!
I am happy for you! Cigna must be in a good mood this week, because they approved me on Monday. My surgery date was suppose to be January 2, but they change it to December 27! What a great Christmas present to me!
<p>I started my journey at the end of August and I just found out today that I am going to have my procedure done on January 7th. The insurance company lost the fax from my doctor's office!! Plus the girl handling my case was fired!! So it has been a long journey, but don't give up!!!</p>
