For me, I had to beg my doc to let me come in 1 day early (before the 4 week mark). they said the band needs 4 weeks to properly heal before tightening...perhaps you should ask your doc what he thinks about this common idea.

Holy crap! That's amazing! I am soooo jealous! It's taken me 2 and a half weeks to lose 13 lbs!

Did you cheat on pre-op liquid diet
LiseSeattle replied to crystalcml's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
what in the world is a swiss chard???? -
Oooh - be prepared for the port pain to last for at least a week to two weeks. Mine lasted for about a week and a half. I couldn't sleep on my port side for 2 weeks and I walked around with my hand over my port location for 2 weeks and rubbing it seemed to help. Now (almost 3 weeks since surgery) port pain is all gone!

After 3 days of no poop I introduced myself to MOM (milk of magnesia). It became my new best friend (and worst enemy). -
burping, laughing, coughing, sneezing...it all hurt for at least a week and a half after surgery...totally normal!

What are the pains from? Gas, fullness, or surgery?
LiseSeattle replied to AZnikki's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery almost 3 weeks ago and i did experience the same pain for about a week and a half after surgery. The pain was at first from everything...gas, incisions, etc - then just mostly port pain after about a week. Now - I'm pain free! Yeahhhhh. It will go away and you will be counting down the days until your first fill. -

Surgery in less than 1 week!
LiseSeattle replied to frogladyaz's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi! We sound similar - I was a self-pay and did it because I didn't want to wait and see if insurance "might" cover me. Everything was fantastic (I was banded about 3 weeks ago) and I am so happy with my decision. I've been blogging everything and you can check it out via the link below in my signature. :thumbdown: -
Hi Nicole! Congrats!!! I'm sure this will be the best decision you've ever made - so far it has been for me (just banded on march 4th of this year)!

When I had fitday I did upgrade...there are a few more graphs...but nothing that was worth the extra dollars in my opinion.

Congrats congrats congrats!!! It's fantastic when you can get a high from achieving this type of success - and you deserve it!
