1 week banded



Recommended Posts

Hello, I was banded 02/10/2011 i'm down 23 lbs (including 15 pre op) I have a question about soreness.....

I fell really sore by my belly button and if you feel my stomach it's quite hard and you can feel a large "knot" i guess?

My questions is if it's normal to still be sore a week out or if it's normal since i'm healing?

It is very normal ! Its going to be sore for a little bit and swollen! You will start feeling fully normal in probably another week or so! But no worrys unless its just so unbearable you can't take it! Good luck with your lapband and congrats on the weight loss!

I found out today it's my port lol I thought it was on my side guess not!

Congrats on the band I was banded on Wed 2/16 and feeling pretty darn good, I've walked everyday except when the rain got in the way. Of course I'm sore but bearable. I actually have taken the pain meds at night it's helped me sleep great. I'm hoping the soreness goes away soon I've got an important golf tourney coming up in a short time.... I played catch with my son today I was sore throwing but i was very very careful.....

I was banded on 2-14 and I'm really sore and gassy! I can't wait for this gas to go away : ) Good luck all

I got banded 2/14 also and have no more gas but random discomfort. The only thing I'm taking now is my multi Vitamin. I'm very tight in my stomach when I first wake up and it takes me a while to get out of bed physically. Other than that I'm pretty good.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
