Hello there - I too had the band surgery on Friday Dec. 17th with Dr. McCloskey! I am wondering if we saw each other when waiting for our x-ray on the last day in the hospital? How are you feeling now? I am feeling really good and getting use to eating only little amounts of what we can eat right now. I had to go back Monday after the surgery to have 3 cc's removed from the band because I had a lot of swelling around the band post-op. Let me know how you are doing! Hope great!

Hi! Glad you are doing well! I don't know if I saw you... there were 3 girls waiting for the gross upper GI.. I was with my bf.. remember me? I'm doing pretty well... Still a little sore, but nothing too bad. I didn't even know we had Fluid in our band?! I wonder if everyone does.. Did you get the extra stitches in your stomach? I did... I'm not sure if it's working any better, but I definitely don't feel any hunger. Question for you... today has been two weeks since surgery, are you moving on to soft/puree foods today or tomorrow, or waiting any longer? I'm SO ready to eat something rather than Soup, but nervous to move on!

Hoping you are having a speedy recovery! (And getting through the holidays on this liquid diet! Ahhh)

Marie

      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.
