Seby

It’s been almost a month since my surgery. Have lost 25 lbs so far...my band is currently empty...was emptied by surgeon the day of my surgery as I was not able to keep anything down. I did go down 30lbs but have gained 5 back once I got some solids in me...as I was craving lots of things. :thumbup: When I went for my 2 week post-op appointment, I got yelled at for trying solids too early. and was warned about the band slipping if I keep doing that. I go for my first fill tomorrow. I am a bit nervous but only because I hate needles. :smile2:

Yesterday (Tuesday) was my surgery. After surgery, I had trouble swollowing and the doctor got some of the band fluid out - AUCH - long needle - but strangely it didnt hurt - all that much. I made it thru the first night and at breakfast I had everything from the short liquid diet menu. Pain started shortly after that. This time it is worse than the pain before doctor got some of the fluid out of the band. I came home today. Am hungry but any linquid i swollow hurts. Pain meds wear out in 1 hr. My shoulders hurt. Why? Read the replies here and started putting warm blanket on my chest. Hope it works. Am in bad pain. I am not new to pain. and this seems to be one of those that stand out in my memory. Will this get better tomorrow?
