May Bandsters!

Normally they don't fill them. My doc says he has done so many surgeries that he can gauge where a person can start at. His feelings are that his patients shouldn't be hungry when the swelling goes down.

My dr put filled mine a little as well during surgery. I see him Thursday so I'm eager to ask him exactly how much He put in! My gas pains were gone by day 3, but my stomachs rumbles a lot still

Hi all. Just wanted to quickly post to let you know I made it ok. I am in my hospital bed right now. Glad i could stay overnight. Not trying to scare anyone but I truly did not expect this level of pain. Overall things have gone smoothly and I will share more once I feel better. All the best. xo

Omg me too, I'm day 2 post op and my pain is extreme. We cam do it. Good

Luck with everything

Well I started my liquids a day early and did great with it~~ Woke up this am feeling a little weird but okay. I jumped on the scale and I weighed 164 WOW!!! My first weigh with the doc I was 273~~ then at my last visit with the doc I was 271. Since my pre op diet two weeks ago and then starting liquids yesterday I'm down to 264!!! I'm very excited!!!!

I'm glad it's not just me. Definitely better than yesterday but still constant. I feel like someone is tearing me up inside whenever I have to get up out of bed. Same to you.

Sandrie and Buffaogyrl - hope it all goes smoothly today. You will do just fine.

I have a question.

I see everyone is talking about insane pain levels, do the doctor not give a pain med?

I went to see my surgeon two weeks ago and gave me a prescription on the spot, I didn't even ask.

Four more days until surgery! Yay!
