    momsthecoach2 I agree we just gotta hang in there I guess it gets better with time. John it really is strange how our surgeries are all the same but we all have different instructions. justbeingmeLL I eat the veggies I just use my hand mixer and puree it all together...I feel like I'm wasting it if I strain it and toss the rest lol

    I just went out for the first time yesterday (4 days post op) and just walking around Walmart and bestbuy, I had to take my pain meds when I got home cause I felt like I overdid it. Its mostly the area where my port is....soooo sore.

    I know its really hard and frustrating too....maybe just pick up ur baby only when necessary until your ready. But at first ur so sore even just to get up and sit down. I'm 5 days post op and couldn't imagine going back 2 work just yet. I feel great but my tummy dosent lol

    It really does depend on your insurance. I had my initil consultation on 6/29 and I was banded 8/27.

    OMG my son just turned 8 months and I was banded thursday...the Dr. Told me not to pick him up for 4-6 weeks. That's almost impossible for a mom. And really hard for me not to lift him I cried the other day cause I wanted to pick him up so bad. It really. Does make a difference if you do your best cause you will really pay for it if you don't do what your told. Good Luck to you and I hope I feel better soon cause I hate this.

    Hi all my surgery is 8/20 and my Dr says I will need 2-3 weeks to recover and return to work. I was wondering if some of you can share your recovery time and how long were you out of work?
  22. mems
    My surgery is actually 8/27 it was pushed back a week, :biggrin: but there not doing anything out of the ordinally (that I know of) I actually sit @ work all day so I guess that's a plus
  23. mems
    My doc actually advised me not to go back until 2-3 weeks that's why I thought it was bizzare that people go back after just 2-3 days. I hope I'm one of the lucky ones who recover quickly, because I would rather go back sooner.
  24. mems
    That recovery was horrible it took me 2 weeks to even begin to feel normal.....that's why I feel like if I went through that I could do anything lol
