So I got my band I'm doing well, my surgeon tells me that it had no complications and that I had lost the most pounds out of anybody in the program pre op. I'm so proud, anyway the biggest incision hurts the most and it hurts when I sit up but not alot and I haven't had a bowel movement yet but Im taking benefiber

I got my band yesterday too!!! My surgeon said everything went fine. I have the SILS (single incision lap surgery), right in my belly button. I only feel pulling when I try to walk, the pulling is at my port too. I hope it doesn't take long to feel normal again...

I haven't had a BM either, I am not taking anything for it. I think I'll get my hubby to get me stool softeners or benefiber to try. I really am dreading having to push for my first BM after surgery. (sorry to be so graphic!!!)

How are you feeling 1 day after the band?

I got mine Thursday. The doctor complimented me twice on my nice liver. :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
