I just got banded today and Havins some trouble urinating. I am having to strain and I'm afraid of hurting my band. Any thoughts

Stiff is right, Nancy. Our bladders may just need a few days to wake up. I have found that if I tilt my pelvis a little, I can get more out. (Sorry, TMI)

I had Dr. Reilly! I got banded Monday 12/10/12. Im not really sure what to comment on him. He seems like a very kind person and answers questions but I seen him once before but not after the procedure. His crew kind of made me feel rushed like they just wanted me to leave already!!

I had the same thing and was wondering if it was from all of the IV Fluid that they ave me in the hospital. Not only that, but the smell was just AWFUL! It did go away by days 2 or 3.

I had the same thing. Took me a couple of hours to urinate after the procedure. I had a sensation of wanting to go but I just couldn't go. The nurse told me it was because of the anesthesia. It also made me constipated until 3 days after the surgery

I had Dr. Reilly he is wonderful. My aftercare is done at true results on Main st. 2 of my favorite PA's are Ida and Linda very nice and informative. Both have followed me closely especially these last 3 months when the weight loss stopped. I was too tight but did not have symptoms, now I'm back on tract I have lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. They will go far and beyond to keep you going and motivated. Ida was my health assessment instructor in nursing school so we have a history but I would not want to see any other than Ida/Linda.I always request those 2 because they know me since we have worked so close together. Good luck.

I feel that day 3 was the worse day for me too. I was like what the heck did i do to myself! But the fourth I was doing a lot better and today I feel so much better! Try to walk around more. I noticed after I did a lot of walking I felt a lot better.

The nurse that took care of me in recovery was good, but there was another one there that I was glad I didn't have! She just kept barking orders at the poor patient she was with. I was up walking back & forth and I was so tempted to hobble over & give her a piece of my mind! No one needs to be yelled at when coming out of anesthesia! Especially by the person who is supposed to caring for them. She was on Dr. Hollis' service, so I think I might say something when I go in. I just hate to think of other people being treated like that.

      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.
