11 Days Post Lap Band Surgery And Feeling Pretty Good



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to check in, feeling so much better today, can't wait to go to the dr tomorrow for my post op. I'm hoping he tells me i can have soft foods. I'm so sick of Protein Shakes I could kick someone. i've been trying to fill my port but i can't seem to find it, i'm beginning to wonder if dr really did put the band in..lol..I will come back tomorrow to post my weight loss. I hope that all my Dec bandsters are doing well...

Hey I am glad to hear from someone going throught the same things. I am on day 6 and really tired of broth and Protein Shakes and juice. It stinks watching my family eat and eat and eat. I see the dr Thursday and I am hoping for pureed food maybe a little yougurt, cream of wheat or pureed anything. i don't even know which side my port is on. I 4 cuts about 1 inch long and one big one about 2 inches long. You made it to day 11 so congrats!

My consultation is January 6. I've been thinking about this for a year. My previous insurance would not cover it, but after a move and a new job, my current insurance will. I'm so excited and so proud of all of you who have gone through the process. I am almost afraid to think it might actually happen. Whoo Hoo! Best of luck to you in 2012. I am thinking about you and praying for you :)

Hi, I'm 8 days post op. A lot less sore than I was. Today I'm suffering with painful-extreme gas in my chest area. OMG, please tell me there's a cure.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
