Congratulations. Keep up the good work. I was just banded in November 2008 and have a long way to go. It is great to hear about peoples weight loss.

Sorry I didnt get back with you sooner. When I had the pains it was more midchest than on the right side. I wasnt sure if it was gas, heart attack or what. Hope your problem is resolved now. It seems like when you have pains, it is a guess for them to figure out. Based on the cat scan they said it was gall bladder stones. They did a MRI next because they said the liver was extended.
Wishing you the best

Las Vegas December Meet Up - December 14 (Sunday)
lori in las vegas replied to FeliciaLevy75's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi - My brother showed up from nowhere and I wont be able to meet on Sunday. Looking forward to meeting you some other time. Lori -
Sorry to hear about your troubles. I was banded on Nov 7th. On Nov 23 I started having severe pain. Called the lapband surgeon. They told me to go to the hospital. Turns out it was stones in the gallbladder. I had surgery the next day. A general surgeon removed the gall bladder. They didn't do the surgery until about 6 p.m. I stayed the night in the hospital. Recovery has been a lot slower than the lap band. I stayed home from work for six days. I am sure it will all work out. Wishing you the best.

How long did you wait until you went back to work
lori in las vegas replied to ichthyology's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on Friday and went to work on Monday. I have an office job. I worked a full week. I was definitely tired by the time I got home but was able to get thru. I am in my fifties so I dont have the energy of some of the younger people. I took it easy and didn't move much. My doctor told someone it was possible to go to work the next day if they felt up to it. -

Got The Lapband 11-12-08
lori in las vegas replied to DesiRose's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had my surgery on FRiday, Nov. 7th. I went back to work on Monday. I still get tired but I am a lot older than you. I have been drinking protein shakes, broth and vegetable juice. There has been some nausea. Overall it hasn't been too bad. I wish you the best of luck. -
I had lapband surgery on Friday Nov 7th also. It was in Las Vegas. It was done as an outpatient. Surgery was at 11:30. I was home by 3. Took pain medicine and slept mostly the first day. I have been have nausea. The doctor didn't give me any or recommend any nausea medicine. My doctor said it was okay to have liquid protein after the first day but I am thinking that is what is making me have nausea. I am going to go back to broth. I have been trying to get plenty of water and taking my vitamins. Took my first shower this morning also. No problem. Went to work this morning for half a day. My next doctors appointment is on next Monday. Good luck
