Hello everyone, I had my surgery yesterday and all went fine. I can say I do have gas pain and a little site pain by the port. This is not intense pain. I would also recommend to walk and soon as your able. I was a hour out of recovery and started to walk, nothing crazy! But it does help with the gas and bloating. Last night I had 2 shots of morphine and today I have taken liquid tylenol and gas -x strips they work great!!! Did my swallow test today- 6/3 and was released at 1:30. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE! We all can do this we have an amazing tool. - Kathleen

Hi,Jeanie 3B, Put and Cutie, I want to wish you all luck with your upcoming surgery date. I will have to try for sometime in mid May. My sleep study indicates that I have a mild form of sleep apnea and now I have to go for a second study this time to fitted with a cpap device.... Good luck to you all and keep me posted ladies. Best wishes , Kathleen

Guess what...... I should have kept my mouth shut.... I have to now go back for seconds on a sleep study, I have mild sleep apnea. I would rather be safe than sorry. Oh GHEZZZZZ....... That will take my mind off of worrying about the surgery. Are you guys doing a liquid diet and having a meal at dinner time or strickly just liquids????
-
Hey, I think if I have to go for one more test I'll just scream.... I have a stress test and fingers crossed that will be the last except for the pre-op testing. Good luck in your weight loss journey and meeting your goals

Hi Starbux Queen, One doctor told me to wait at least 6 months and other told me to wait at least 12 months the more weight you lose the better the pregnancy. - My Ob Gyn is totally supportive.... Thank goodness and I have not been banded yet and I see that you have d lost 21 lbs. Good for you that is awesome. How are you feeling so soon after your surgery? I hope your feeling well and have continued success obtaining your weight loss goals and goals of a thin pregnancy.- I'm there with ya!!!! I still can's get over the fact in 2 weeks, I'll be getting my band.... Take care, Kathleen

Hi Bexleygal, Thanks for the info. I wish you all the luck in the world in your weight loss journey and lot of happiness and joy to you and your family! - Kathleen

Hey Ivonne, I will be going for my surgery April 22. One moment I'm excited and in the next I'm scared. Have you started your pre-op diet yet? Today I had cereal and a shake for lunch and a shake for a snack. You'll be fine and just think of the weight loss success..... I still can't believe that my date is actually approaching. Now I know it's getting closer when the hospital just called for me to come in for my pre surgical testing..... AHHHH!!!! GOOD LUCK - Kathleen
