congrads, well be for the sergery they gave me meds to calm down lol i was freaking out my 1st sergery, after word i wook up i was in pain they came to my bed and gave me a shot in my butt like 2 mins i was alot better. they didnt let me go to the bathroom they didnt want me out of bed, they gave me this teddy bear and this little thing i had to breath into, they said to hold the teddy to my tummy and cough, it hurt alot, they said i had to keep doing it , i believe its because you breath so shallow and slow while under and on all the pain meds they give you that you can get bronkitis or <NOBR>ammonia</NOBR> -i cant spell sorry, some people cant sleep on thier sides i had trouble getting in and out of bed so bring pillows it makes it easier to get in and out of bed, i asked the doctor why and she said because the muscles that they did cut through were sore, i didnt want to eat at all, was swollen, gave me lots of Soup and ice cream, they do an upper GI the next day to make sure they did good,placed the band good and make sure the band they put on wasnt to tight, they make you walk the 2nd day, it helps with the gas, from the operation, i brought malox with me to the hospital in case i had to much gas, some else told me to do that and the doctor, tthen the 3rd day you just relax,

i would contune to put triple antibiotic ointment and a bandaid on it the peroxide i'd stop for a little bit, also dont keep the bandaid on it all day, let the cut dry out, infection like wet dark places, so maybe in the morning or b4 you go to bed take the bandaid off clean the cut with soap and water, dry it with a towel and let it dry out for maybe an hour or 2.

Not doing so well on pre op diet
loveulots17lov replied to Teresa'sTurn's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
i ate a little extra then what my doc wanted me to eat but i think it is really important that the night b4 you have your sergery you drink clear liquids , the whole purpose of the pre op diet is to shrink you insides so it will be easier for your doctor to be able to see your organs (stomach) so try not to go over board, and you should be fine, and do the liquid the night b4 sergery. i lost 4 pound pre op -

alright my appiontment at the band doc was at 11:45 am so i got there 20 mon early hoping to get in a little early. no i was taken in at 1145. I see a doctor come in to the room. i have never seen him befor. he said my doctor had an emergency at the hospital and he was going to see me. i feel very confortable at this piont. i told him that i was upstate and while upthere i had a complete unfilll. he said ok so i guess your getting a fill today. 11:50 i get on that flor.. x ray machine. i had no restiction at all. ok so he lays me back on the machine and starts to feel around for my port. he couldn't feel it so he puts a penny were he believes the port is and uses the x ray to see if he was close. he said yah i am a little close. he takes out a needle. tries going for the port. he said nope the needle is to small. so he takes out this long long needle, i start sweting.he puts the needle in. he can't find the port agien. he uses the x ray agien. says it a little to the left of were i got it now...... to make the story much shorter 5 x rays - a broken needle -not to much blood -pain up the ying yang-and a hour later i finally get a fill, the doctor fish around in my stomach for an hour looking for my port, i wanted to say just stop and get anouther doctor but i didnt want to make him feel bad. - still very unconfortable by my port, but i guess it will go away. ok i shared my day at the docs, any one ever go through that
