[☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721]

doing well. my left shoulder is hurting quite a bit. they fixed a hernia also. pain is tolerable. i have a liquid pain medicine to take. seems to help. i have to get 2 shots a day leonox. hub is to do it in my stomach twice daily. to prevent clots. rite aid drug store gave us 3 boxes of prefilled shots. they use al little needle.

also have a breathing machine to use to prevent pnuemomia.i just inhale using this little plastic item. not sure how long i will have to use it.

mouth is very dry but am trying to sip as much as i can.

had to drink barium and dr watched on xrays to see any leaks. none was seen and that was great news.

ended up losing 18.2 pounds on my liquid diiet so my liver was perfect and small.

will just rest for the next few days. hope my shoulder feels better. that be my only complaint.

thank you all.

I am on my second day post op. my shoulder and gas pains are pretty intense. I went to my follow up apt. this morning and everything seems to be ok other than a slight fever. They said it is normal but if it gets up to 101 then I need to go to the hospital. Congrats on your lap band! I'm glad you are feeling pretty good.

I found the gas pains was the worse thing. I found that using a heating pad helped so much. And gas x strips. I walked every hr on the hr if not more. I hope you get to feeling better.
