BandedBettyBoop 36 Posted November 30, 2012 It didn't hurt as bad as I had anticipated. I was discharged this morning. My surgeon said my liver looked great, so my starving wasn't in vain I'm on a schedule of walk, walk, walk, SIP, SIP, SIP & sleep today. :-) Thanks to everyone who has offered kind words and advice that helped me get this far. My new journey begins! 3 suzannetx, Maddysgram and vanessa1215 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichGirl 15 Posted November 30, 2012 glad you had a better time than i did. I literally just got home. spent 2.5 days in the hospital I had a lot of nausea and they didn't want to send me home in case i couldn't keep fluids in. He said he has become a bit more aggressive in stitching the band in place which causes a tighter affect. I'm just glad to be home. Glad you did well, and look forward to us all feeling a bit better than we do right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BandedBettyBoop 36 Posted November 30, 2012 I did vomit yesterday. Got up too soon. Not a good feeling. Sorry it was such a nightmare for you RichGirl :-( but I'm glad you're home now! My struggle now is Water intake. Trying to get my 64 oz in is tougher than I'd ever imagine! Try to stay on top of your pain! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're very swollen. 1oz every 15 mins. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been sipping lots of Water and got 2 Protein shakes in so far. I also had some clear chicken broth. I feel very hungry, lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4sweeties 63 Posted December 1, 2012 Is vomiting the first day typical? Just rying to get a feel for what to expect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichGirl 15 Posted December 1, 2012 Is vomiting the first day typical? Just rying to get a feel for what to expect. I never vomited but I had really bad nausea. I'm on Clear liquids and I had some shake and it's going ok. My first day I wasn't allowed to have anything because of my hernia repair. Of course now I'm hungry but it passes as soon as I have some tea or shake. Good luck to everyone who was banded recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BandedBettyBoop 36 Posted December 1, 2012 I feel so bloated. I have gas pretty bad, I keep burping and it hurts, but it makes room for me to drink more Water. :-/ Also, I think my vomiting yesterday was from the anesthesia. The nursing staff told me it was fairly normal to be nauseated and/ or vomit after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought yesterday during my swallow test I would throw up but I didn't. I got in 2 8 oz. Protein drinks, a can of chicken broth, some Jello and lots of Water. I wish I could pass some of this gas. It really hurts. My incisions are still sore. I walked 3 different times today. I know I walked more than a mile altogether but it hasn't helped with the gas yet. It does feel pretty good to stand up though. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted December 1, 2012 You may not eat or drink anything after midnight on the night prior to surgery ... Ans: The procedure takes an average of one hour to perform but may vary ... On the second day, you will be consuming approximately 30 mls of Water every hour. 30mls= 1oz if anyone is interested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
