Got Banded December 3, 2010
orlandotrock1 replied to ltanner's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was also banded on the 3rd. Not having much pain, getting in and out of bed is the hardest. Today I did go shopping and was in and out of the car about 6 times and still feeling pretty good. Had some oatmeal today w/no problem but dont really have a taste for anything either. Good luck and keep me posted. -
So what are you going to do when you loose your weight

I want to be able to buy the outfit in the regular size store window. Shorts!!! I cant remember the last time I wore shorts, it must have been 8 years ago. -

Banded yesterday and I dont have much pain at all, mostly tenderness in my belly. I had the single incision surgery. The OR time was about 45 min, then around an hour in recovery, then down to get an xray(to make sure everything was placed right) Back to recovery they made me drink some water and go to the bathroom-then discharged. I feel good have been walking around the house because its too cold outside. I was not afraid of the surgery, I was more nervous because I work on the campus of the hospital and I dont want everyone to know my business. My husband worked for a while and my kids were at a party, I was alone and i was fine. The pain meds helped LOL! I have been napping on and off all day. I'm sure looking forward to Monday when I can have more to eat...havent had any real food since Wed night. I'll keep you posted. Good luck! -

You look great, congrats. -
What great news!!!! I am happy for you. Are you ready???!! WoW that was quick. I have a six month wait, and next week will be my three month visit. I have to have another sleep study w/the c-pap on Thursday. I had the blood work and I need the EKG. I (hope) will be ready for surg in November.
Congrats to you!

I hope all went well today and congrats on your PCP's support. My insurance didnt require PCP approval but I'm hoping she is in favor of it.
Have you decided if you are going to tell everyone? My husband, sister and a few friends know but I'm afraid to be ridiculed by people who dont understand what its like to be overweight.

SO, sleep study last night...I didnt sleep well at all and the tech told me he was pretty sure I will be back soon for another study w/the CPAP. I'm not sure of the count but he said if I had gone to sleep sooner I would have reached the number of times I had a respiratory disturbance, and that I need a CPAP. Don't know how I feel about that, does that mean I dont have to wait 6 months for my surg? Because sleep apnea is pertty serious-I'm learning. Apnea would exlpain why I'm soooo tired and cranky most of the time. This has been a pretty productive week; psych eval and sleep study DONE.

Hi! Today went well, he said I'm not crazy and that I am a good candidate for surgery. It took almost three hours!!! I feel good about it and am happy thats over with. Tomorrow night I have a sleep study....I'll let you know how it goes. Take care:)

Nervous about my first doctors appointment!
orlandotrock1 replied to settebee's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Had my first appt yesterday and was nervous too. Met surgeon, nutritionist and billing dept rep-not too bad, but alot to take in. They gave me a binder w/check lists and all the lab slips and referrals I will need. I left feeling much better, like a huge step is out of the way. Good luck, you will be fine. -
