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'm actually feeling good now! I felt horrible for the first 3 days.... I feel finally somewhat normal. Thank you for asking. When was your procedure?!

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
