Intro - day 1 post op



Recommended Posts

Hello all - I am on day 1 - post op and just wanted to intro and thank everyone for their posts, they have helped a lot to read and get info from those who have experienced this procedure.

I am excited, in pain...and....curious to see what the next several months hold for me.

Be well....Wayne

Wayne,

Good luck on your recovery, I'm sure the next few months will go well for you. I go in Thursday the 18th for my band, I'm excited, yet I hate hospitals, so I'm praying all goes well for me!

Good luck,

Tina

I will be praying for you - be strong and stay as calm as you can in the hospital. It is over so quickly you won't believe it.

God Bless..

Hi Wayne congrats to you. I'm also day 1 post op. I was only allowed ice chips and Water until this morning. I'm now enjoying a cup of chicken broth and sf popsicles. Stomach is still very sore because the pain meds aren't really working. I jus requested sum of the liquid tylenol everyone speaks about. Congrats to you and everyone banded earlier this month. I'm so excited to be starting my journey.

Thanks for the reply. We should keep in touch as we started this journey on the same date. :scared2:

My pain is much better today - two days post op. I can feel a sizable difference in the discomfort. I am so happy for that...my legs - my calves - are sore as I think I was walking differently to help with the stomach pain. You get that?

I am on broth, Jello and muscle milk....that's about it. I want to cheat, but then again, I don't want to. I am ready to do what has to be done.

Drop me a line....Wayne

Hi Ruth,

I'm getting banded tomorrow. I have to be at the hospital at 6:30am.. I'm a bit nervous, but that's really because I hate hospitals.. I'm sure you'll do fine. Good luck in your journey, and keep us posted how your doing :cursing:

Best wishes,

Tina

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
