Whoa, thanks for your comments, but I lost the 38 pounds since January, not in 5 days.

hi, I am so in tune to what you are sharing. I had my surgery on Thursday , so not very long. The first day home. I tried sipping on some broth and I had the most violent regurgitation! The funny thing is instead of it coming out of my mouth, a gush of Water was released. What I mean is yes, I urinated on myself.:welldoneclap: It was quite scarry! I also had massive heart burn. My doc corrected a hiatal hernia, so i am guessing that is why i had the burning in my chest. I too am burping alot. It seems like sometimes it gets stuck. I just thought it was the trap gas from the surgery. I am sure we all will get through this and it will get better. -
sleeping on your stomach? Is that better? Tell me more. I have the same issue. There is one area that is more sensite than the rest. I had my surgery on April 2nd. QUOTE=RestlessMonkey;1191103]Yes ask your doc but it sounds to me like an adhesion? That's one reason I started out sleeping on my stomach etc..I didn't want adhesions to form. Let us know what your doc says!

Well .... i didnt stay overnight but i could have. i had a hiatal hernia, so my doc repaired it. When I woke up, I was in alot of discomfort. My chest was burning but i got through it. I am now on my 3rd day and on my 2nd day of walking all is well!

That is great to hear! Hope it all turns out good for you. I did have to stay overnight, but I always like to sleep alot after surgery. I didn't even notice really...

I was going to ask how well the military covered these types of things... but I see it is possible. Do you have any advice?

Tricare Prime and Lap Band
healthyme2 replied to connie45331's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I have just been approved through tri-care prime. I started my quest back in December, I tried going through the naval hospital. Unfortunately the wait list was quite long, in addition they were losing 2 surgeons. Nonetheless, I was number 197 and currently they are on number 135. I at the same time, looked into surgery through a civilian doctor. I received referrels from my pcm and two other specialty doctors with the Navy. Tri-care approved me for the surgery out in the civilian sector! The wait process i thought would be two to three weeks< IT WASN't one week and now I am on my way. Good luck to you! -

Sure does! My date is set for April 2nd ! I am so excited! It is happening so quickly! Good luck and God's bless to you! -
Lil Miss Diva!
How have you been? Sorry I have been out of touch. I am finally approved and will be banded if God agrees on April 2nd! I am looking forward to it but anticipating a bit. Did you stay over night for your procedure? I will be an outpatient. I think it s great that the procedure is considered minimal but i think i would prefer being in the hospital just one ngiht.
