Hippiemama

This is NOT a shot at the other thread at all, I was just curious how comfortable you feel sharing our struggles in here, with it being open, and being google-able?

Surely I can't be the only nursing bandster..who else is out there? I am nursing my 4th right now..was banded on April 25th..nursed when I left for the surgery..nursed when I came home (6 hours later..lol). It was a bit painful having her plop on top of my belly with my incisions (a pillow between us helped!)..and the first night was rough, as she seemed to want to nurse every hour, but we are doing well now, 4 days later. Just have to remind her to be gentle on Mama

List: Name: Date you were banded: Weight loss to date: How are you feeling? Name: Amanda Date you were banded: April 25th Weight loss to date: 28lbs (since pre-op diet April 11th) How are you feeling? Good!!!

I'm at 5cc's and am very restricted.

I have no advice, because I'm not there yet (first fill on wed) but I had to tell you your babies are gorgeous :biggrin:

I'm glad it went well, keep us posted on how it works.

Glad to hear all went well :crying:

When do you go back Leslie?

Chest pain is common after a laparoscopic surgery. Mine was terrible, I thought I broke a rib or something. Cough as much as you can, and keep breathing. I was worried too, but after the first week all was well. If you do a search on here, you will see many many people have/had chest pain following the surgery. (((hug)))

I hope you hear soon. ((hug))

What she said..lol.

Yup, you will have to have them off for TLBC. And no staying in bed after :rolleyes2:

I'm glad your feeling better, keep coughing to keep things clear, and walking to build up those lungs. It killed me taking deep breaths the first week or so. I thought I broke a rib or something. It did go away eventually though. I was banded in April also. (Come join our april group if you'd like!)

If you haven't already, come join us on the yahoo group!
