phatgoddess, I'm doing great, my surgery was very easy I was surprised. I was returned to my room at 12:30pm and they had me up walking at 1:00 and I had no pain except for pain in my right shoulder for about a hour. when are you to be banded and where at?

Was out today and had a very busy day, my grandson's 2nd birthday, it was a long day, Now I'm very sore in my stomach area where my incisions are.

Way to go ladybug, Jane, glad your day went well, sounds like you did very well, don't forget to keep on walking:smile2: I can't wait to be able to go to the gym, my hospital that I had surgery at has a lifestyle gym and all lap-band patients get discount rates to use the gym and no fee to use the indoor track. keep on chatting with us were all going to need that extra support.

Leah, The best advice I can give you is get up and walk right away, hopefully the pain will be less and you will feel so much better. :thumbup:Karen

Chinacat, I am only, what 3 days post-opt and I am doing my walking and I occasionally get a slight pain in my right shoulder, I have a pinching in one of my incision areas and it frightened me It feels like my stitches are ripping. They all tell me it OK there is stitches on the inside and outside. and they could be pulling a bit.

Well Rose I'm banded and on the other side with you all. My day started being at the hospital at 8:AM and surgery was set for 10:00, the doc. canceled all of his other surgery's for the day and I was the only one, so we were right on time. I was back in my room by 12:30 and up walking at 2:00, I felt great! They told me 16 laps around the floor was a mile so I started out at 2:00 and walked 1/4 mile, at 4:00 I walked 1/2 mile and that is when the pain in my right shoulder set in, it lasted about 1 hour, and then every 2 hours I would walk 1/2 mile and I had no pain. When I left the hospital today I had already walked 4 miles:smile2:. I was proud of myself I fell like a new person and I'm liking that person a whole lot. I'm so glad yours went well Rose I thought about you off and on all day Tuesday, Now I'm on a all liquid diet for 1 week and then I guess I go to soft foods I'll find out for sure on Monday when I have my follow up apt. Good luck to everyone else who is coming up!!!!:thumbup:

:tongue2::frown: gran thanks for all the thoughts, but my day didn't go as planned, I arrived at the hospital at 7:00 am for surgery but the Doctor didn't, He canceled my surgery for yesterday the 4th because he hurt his back and needed a day to rest, it upset me but was also fine by me I don't want the doctor working on me in pain or on pain pills, lol, Anyhow I go tomorrow the 5th, and I guess I will band twins with Rose now, I can't wait to be added on the band list. Hopefully they will let me go home on Wednesday from the hospital and when I do I will sure to check in, Good Luck Rose, see you on the banded side. Hope all went well Charm

soulsista, don't be nervous about going under. you will be just fine, I was very nervous the first time I went under the only weird part is that your there waiting one minute and then they are waking you up, and you don't even know what happened. that is the weird part:drool:

Karenwinpa replied to reneek's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I totally agree, he is very caring. The first seminar that I went to I felt very comfortable with him, which is something that is a very good quality for a surgery like this. I am about to be banded in 4 days, Oct. 4th, 2010, and I have had nothing but great treatment from Doctor Marley and his whole office staff. -
Well tomorrow I stop taking me coumadin medicine which leaves me with 4 more days to go. I AM SO READY NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Charm1123 I will be joining you on the same day, we are all in this together, so let's keep everyone in our thoughts. I just started my second week of pre-opt and I have lost 11 lbs. already, and I really am not hungry on this schedule. 2 shakes and one 350 to 400 cal. meal, I must have 60 gms. of Protein every day. All my friends keep asking aren't you hungry yet, and I not, I really am not. lol

wow! a diet for only 5 days how does that work and what do you have to eat or drink?
