Recommended Posts

Hi All...I was banded June 8th. I had some severe swelling issues day 3&4, which had subsided now. Aside from that I definitely feel restriction. My stomach is growling and churning and yelling at me (lol) but due to the restriction I feel I can't get enough food down to ease it! I'm also bloating as the day wears on...my tummy is relatively (ha) flat in the morning but by late afternoon I look pergnant, and the belly if firm. Are these 2 issues considered part of Bandster Hell or should I call my doctor? I have my first post op appointment on Tuesday 6/22. Thanks for any info you veterans out there can share! I really appreciate it!

If your worried- I would call the dr. office. It may just be gas, but a call may ease your mind.

thanks for the response...trial and error has led me to the conclusion that its really hunger pain...when I get food down it subsides for a while. The bloating is gas...every day is different!

      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.
