Are you? -
Hello everyone, I am now 5 days out from surgery my weight at the beginning was 340 pre-op 321 and today 5 days out 316 a total of 24 pounds down. my breathing is better now and the pain is just in the insesions. but i have notice and unpleasant feeling and was hoping someone out there could give some input on this. my band area feels weird, When i take a deep breath in my band and stomach feels tight and my chest its an uncomfortably feeling no pain its uncomfortably to lay certain ways for a few minutes, i have to hurry and sit up when the feeling gets to much then i will burp.I am not sick, or vomiting and anything like that. so i don't think my band has slipped. and it when it happens i feel an uncontrollable erge to burp and cant or if i do it hurts. anyone out there feeling what i am.

Day 2 after surgery i must say i am feeling a little better and slept a little longer in between getting up to walk around the bedroom the heating pad does help with the gas pains and helps you to sleep better. I am still trying to deep breath,i hurt a little trying to do that does anyone know how long it will take for the gas and breathing to get back to normal? and its been hard just trying to get my liquids in I get to start drinking on the protein drinks today. -
I am officially a March Bandster. Banded yesterday morning. tossed and turned last night. no pain the gas is starting to kick in thou. i feel better walking and standing than sitting so when it starts bothering me I walk. The surgery went well My Doctor was great he came to see 2 or 3 times before surgery and was very nice and caring his name is doctor Patrick Domskowsi in Sebastian Florida I had a hernia and he repaired it to Thank you Jesus because hernias just case for another surgery on down the road. after surgery i was very nauseated but didn't vomit. they was starting to think i was going to be spending the night but with a few of my prayer worriers the Lord gave me a quick turn around and i was sent home. I got to shower and I'm feeling good. eating a little sugar free jello watered down juice and water and had some coffee this morning not really hungry.as of today down 19 pounds. post more as i go. Good luck to all still waiting. Tammy

tjgibson1968 replied to lightnhealthy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on day 15 of my liquid diet, I have lived on protein shakes and sugar free Jello and sugar-fat free puddings water and chicken broth. I have lost 18 pounds. my surgery is in the morning I have to be at the hospital at 8:00 am and I'm feeling NERVOUS :Banane20:. My husband gave me my shot of lovenox blood thinner in the belly this morning as I was instructed. and i can only have sips of liquid after 12 tonight up to 7:00 in the morning. But i am ready. the liquid diet is hard but it gets easier and you will lose some weight to while you are on it so good luck and hang in there we all will make it.:Banane20: -
