What type of anaesthesia is used for Lapband procedure?
sweetkissez42061 replied to kittkat2009's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I was put to sleep they gave me something to relax me.. and Im very weird about medicines..never taken anything other then tylenol... let me tell you what.. that crap worked! I was TERRIFIED to be put to sleep..shaking uncontroably.. FREAKING out. They gave me that stuff and I could care less what was going on. I remember getting onto the OR bed.. them securing my arms and then a mask to get oxygen.. and thats it. I was out like a light. Woke up after about 3o mins in recovery. I was really scared that when I woke up id freak out becuase I felt "out of it" but the stuff they gave me to relax me helped even through waking up. It went very smooth! -

I know smoking makes things heal at a slower rate. They dont like doing this surgery on smokers. -

2 days after Surgery
sweetkissez42061 replied to imstillstrill's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
From what Ive been experiancing..once you get the band, you dont really lose much. I guess when we get our first fill youll see it come off. So your dr. is right! Focus on healing..then losing.. its hard not to get discouraged! -

Any last minute advice?
sweetkissez42061 replied to want to be free's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i used maalox. I hated the gas x strips. and the liquid tylenol. I only needed that stuff for 2 or 3 days.. I didnt even have to take pain meds. Its really not that bad..and im a wuss! LOL ..When you come home to sleep its nice to have a small pillow on hand..i slept on my side and just put that under my tummy.. felt better! -
vitamins post-op
sweetkissez42061 replied to desperateinDE's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
im taking childerns gummie vitamans and a viactiv for my calcium. they taste like candy! -
Hey! Ive lost about 20 pounds as well too. Im on clear liquids until tomorrow then I can start my full liquid diet. I cant start mushies until my 5th week.. gosh that seems so far! Im not in any classes or anything, Im just a stay at home mommy! I have 3 boys..2 are mine and 1 I love like mine!
Do you have a myspace! Itd be easier to talk there if so! I dont check this everyday! Im glad I found someone to talk to about our concerns and what not..makes things a little less stressful to know we are going through the same thing! -

I remember them saying something about it.. ill ask at my next appointment. how much have you llost so far? and do you have to do a week of clear liquids? I ate soup for the first time tonight.. Im not supposed to have that until Tues. oops. I hope your feeling better! ive been walking everyday for about 20-30 mins and it helps ALOT!

Then of course I physc myself out and keep giving myself unnecessary aniexty. I have bad aniexty as it is..ugh! so far I dislike lapband! -
what have i done
sweetkissez42061 replied to aslimmerme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel your pain. I was banded the same day as you and I have too asked myself what the hell have I done?! Im on clear liquids only until Tuesday but today I did cheat.. I had soup. I have been feeling so weak I felt like I NEEDED it. and it did make me feel so much better. I only took about 4 small small bites of it. It scared me though..I mean nothing happend but I started thinking.. My dr told me to do this diet until Tues for a reason.. so I wont do it again until then. We can ALL get through this. Hell I got through the 2 weeks before my surgery, I can make these next few weeks. Just take it day by day.. this is the start of the rest of our lives!!!! -

sweetkissez42061 replied to Parshuter's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got them alot during my pre op and now that i had my surgery a few days ago i have continued to get them. Its lack of food I think! Im going to start liquid vitamens tomorrow and see if it helps
