I had the leg cramps several days after surgery... it was so hard.. It felt like huge knots in my calfs.. They felt so tight. I added apple juice (or any type of drink with potassium) and forced myself to walk and it got better by the next day. Good Luck

This is all great information, I had my first fill this past wednedsay.. I had 3cc from the surgery and they added 1 cc more.. I am still not feeling too much restriction. I will start eating full solids tomorrow but I am still hungry.. I need to get rid of the food cravings.. Some more restriction would be nice. I go back on 12-22 for another fill.

I had bruises where my incisions were and then another big one on the total opposite side. They told me that was normal.. not sure i want to know exactly what they did to me when I was under..lol

I had my surgery on November 1st. I slept in the recliner for the first two nights then I was finally able to sleep on my right side some of the night and the rest of the night in the recliner. I am not finally able to sleep on both sides.. It was soooo frustrating.. I just wanted to lay down and sleep!!! Hang in there.. it gets better.

I had my surgery on 11/01 went back to work on 11/08. This week is fine with work, however I am still a little tired and sore at night. Barb

I was also banded on the 1st.. Each day seems to get better.. I am on just liquid Tylenol now for the pain. I think that I need to work harder to get more fluids in me today.. I am having muscle cramps in my legs.. Anyone else ever experience this? Today I am hungry.. not nausea.. that is good I think in a way.. more normal. Keep up the good work guys.. now the hard part is over.. it only gets better from here.!

Great Job John... I had my band on monday and was home by 12:30. It all went very fast.. pain is turning to soreness but I have some leg cramps today that are making me worried about not getting enough fluid intake.. glad you are doing well.

wow.. I will be 46 on November 13th.. this is my bday present too.. my surgery is tomorrow..

I am on the last day of the pre-op diet.. mine is 3 EAS shakes.. which I have to say are pretty satisfying..plus i get one meal with meat and green veggie only.. now I think around day 4 was one of the hardest.. after that I started adjusting better and just stopped thinking about food.. My outlook was.. I have had plenty of food to last me a while.. and none of them was worth messing up my surgery. I know about halloween.. we had a potluck at work.. which I could not eat .. but only brought myself a sf jello..orange to hold me over.. I even made a cake for the party. Just think.. how awesome it is going to be.. !!!! look forward. email me if you need to.. for support.. You can do it!!!!:wink2:
