Hi Allie. Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. The surgery went well. I was very sore afterwards, but just by the port. I go in for another fill under flouro on the 16th of the month. I am a bit worried bc I was in a car accident about 2 wks after the surgery and I got a big bruise from my seatbelt on my lowe abdomen. So, I hope my port is ok still. How are you doing?

Wow I am so sorry you had to have surgery again!!! I am doing great so far no problems! Where did you have your lapband done?

Hi Allie- Looks like we were banded about the same time. My date was June 23! How are things going for you? When I went in for my first fill under flouro, they discovered that my port had flipped. So this past Thurs, I had another surgery to reanchor the port. It's a little tender, who am I kidding- It hurts! But I will be ok. Hope to talk to you soon. Maria

12 days post op/port pain
mariamomof2 replied to bluefish62's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had lots of "port" pain too. I saw my doc and she gave me some neurontin for the pain, which helped me to be mobile again. I still have some pain when I exert myself too much, even 6 weeks post op, but nothing I have to take medicine for. Good Luck! -
Congratulations! I am glad everything is going well for you!

Thanks for all the advice, everyone! I will try your tips!!

I was banded 5 days ago. 3 days ago, my bowels woke up and I started passing gas... that is when the horrible left shoulder pain started. I've been taking gas-x and walking alot. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks!!!

post op diet!! 3 days out! Scared!
mariamomof2 replied to Bigjedda's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi. I was banded on Monday (it is Thurs today). I am on full liquids, so I am enjoying things like sugar- free pudding and ispure protein drink. I am getting a little tired of the isopure, though. I may just start drinking plain water, and get my protein from homemade shakes or something. I stopped taking my prescription pain meds bc it made me very dizzy and slightly nauseated. I am just taking Tylenol now. The gas pains in my left shoulder and neck have kicked in. Wow! What pain! I am taking gas-x and am going to go on a walk outside later this afternoon- so hopefully it will help. Good luck to everyone! -
Hi Brubear! How are you doing with your preparations for surgery? 13 days and counting! I did my pre-op teaching and testing last week. I need to head to the store to get the necessary items for post-op! Good luck to you!!!!

Sorry to hear that you have to change surgeons. I hope you get another date very soon. Good Luck!

Lap Band Surgery Shopping List
mariamomof2 replied to Little Debbie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Cathy Chatts- what do you mean by liqiud protein in your list of things for the first 3 days? Since it is a full liquid diet, do you mean Isopure? Are there others out there? -
