did anyone else's doctor have them wear leg compressors to avoid dvt's and swelling?

We just require it while in the hospital but you should be walking around once released, not only to prevent the DVT's but also to release the gas that was placed into you body during the surgery. The gas will cause pain in your shoulders and other places.

I felt the same way too! I was banded on monday, june 11th. The second and third day post-op was the worst. I took liquid tylenol with codine. Would have never made it through. I am five days post-op today and feel.pretty good. Still some gas pain and soreness where my port it. Hopefully it will get better and you heal fast.

Days 2 and 3 were the worst for me. I was worried that the pain I was in was going to last forever. Can we say drama queen? Of course it didn't, but those were tough days. The heating pad was my friend, helped so much. Just remember walk, walk, walk. It really will help. Good Luck!!

Hang in there. I was just banded Monday. I had terrible nausea day 2 and part of 3. I didn't take pain meds by choice or any type of tylenol. I just have some gas pains in my back. Today i am like a new woman.

      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.
