23days postop and not happy
kimwash71112 replied to ladytru84's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on February 16th. I get my first fill today!!! I am starving, I hope this helps! I can eat way more than the 4 oz! I have only gotten stuck one time, I hope it stays that way! I also hope I have no PB's...never had one, doesn't sound like I want to! I am on all liquids today...yuck! -
one sneeze = sharp pain and then ongoing dull pain.

I had the same thing happen when I was about 6 days post op. It felt like I had blown something out of my belly. It hurt for a couple of days....but I don't think I did any damage. I was banded on 2/16/2010. -
What is the rudest thing someone has said to you?!?!
kimwash71112 replied to auntlucy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was in HS and wasn't really that big. I thought I was HUGE, I weighed about 150. I was bigger than most of my friends. Anyway, I was at the grocery store checking out and a friend of mine's brother (who was really loud and really obnoxious) asked me why I didn't come over to the house anymore, the other fat girl does! I have seen him on FB and he is the Fat boy now!!! -
How are ya'll a year or two later?

It is normal. I even canceled my first surgery date. After 6 months of pre-op nurtitional counseling! I finally had it done last week. You will be fine! Good Luck!

kimwash71112 replied to startin09's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded last week and it still hurts! I sneezed the other day and checked to see if it had flown out! I just knew I had ripped it! I guess everything is ok, I am not vomiting! -
My Dr says liquids for two weeks, mushies for 2 weeks after that. Just wondering about other Dr.'s?

kimwash71112 replied to dragonflylover's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on 2/16/10 and I have lost about 8 lbs. I know alot of that is fluid. I don't care where it comes from. I feel like I have alot of restriction. I have 3cc in a 10 cc band. I guess that is normal?!? -

kimwash71112 replied to allielee's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I feel bad. I read your earliest post, I didn't realize what all you had been thru! Bless your heart! I just got banded on Tuesday. I was wondering if it would be worth all of that to have everything lifted? Hope you are feeling better soon!!! -

kimwash71112 replied to allielee's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
How much pain is involved in the Breast Augmentation and TT? What size cup were you before and what size did you get? I have a feeling that your before will be very similar to my before. -

Not Drinking Enough Post-Op
kimwash71112 replied to JJLaw08's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had surgery on Tuesday. There is no way I am going to be able to get all that liquid down. I had one shake yesterday and it literally took all day. I felt like I had eaten way too much. I have had one shake today and a large glass of tea. -
