May Surgery Dates???

[JennaSoto 85]

Mine was one week later. No fill until my next appointment at 6 weeks. I had 2 ccs put in at surgery. The only thing he did at the first appointment was remove the staples.

That just made me think of a new topic. For those of you post surgery....When do you go for your first doctor's appointment? Are you going to have a fill?

I have a two week post op appointment but they normally don't do a fill until the one month mark. Dr. Pooler said that my hunger might return after two weeks but right now I'm not feeling it. As long as I'm not hungry between meals I'm not going to get a fill either...

I may be getting a bit of a fill at my two week appointment because I had all the Fluid taken out for my "emergency" - he said we will see how I'm doing.

I have an appt at the 4 week mark with my surgeon and if I need a fill ill make an appt with true results because that's who will be doing all my fills. I think I will need one. I'm not sure if mine has any Fluid (forgot to ask) from surgery. I'm noticing now I am getting hungry. I'm satisfied on very little still but I liked when the hunger was gone. Although I've been under 200 calories all week. I guess we'll see what they say.

Hi - I had assumed it was empty as well - so I didn't quite get it when they were talking about removing Fluid. I asked him about it, and he said they usually "prime" it a bit... he did take out 4cc of fluid leaving my band empty for now.

So yeah, it was a surprise to me as well - I thought he had said no fluid as well, Leanne!! So you must have some as well, which may explain your very full feeling!

Are you very hungry or is that part okay still.

Are you very hungry or is that part okay still.

No, I'm not hungry at all, really, yet. I do have moments where my head wishes I could have some pizza or bbq chicken - I do find seeing and smelling food hard, but it isn't coming from true hunger - more a desire to taste something good. I'm sure that true hunger will come, however, so I plan on getting a fill early as my dr. suggested if possible.

UGH, I am 2 weeks out from surgery, and I DO get hungry. Usually about 2 1/2-3 hours after I ate last. I am on liquids still though. So, I usually have some Jello, or popsicle. Can't WAIT for tomorrow's Dr appt when I can be moved on to mushy foods!

Today is 4 weeks since I began this whole process, 2 weeks pre op I lost 20 pounds...2 weeks post op, I lost 15 pounds for a grand total of 35!! Oh yeah, I'm still a bit ummm, fat, but I do feel good just losing that!

[Mandi1441 23]

I couldn't eat it! I'm just so nauseous every time I smell something is not a Soup, I tried one little spoon and I had to stand up to get my nauseous medicine. I shouldn't get that concern since I'm only 1 week prep op and tonight I can start my mushed foods, but it feels bad I prefer not to eat at this point, just Water.< /p>

My doctor's instructions are no mushy foods until the third week. 2nd week are cream Soups, so you still have time to heal. Maybe next week you can enjoy it. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. :-)

My surgery date was scheduled for the 23rd but now it has been postponed because I found out yesterday morning while I was about to be put to sleep and I still had the IV stucked to my arm that I was pregnant. The nurse rushed in and told me I'm pregnant. So it will be postponed until after baby is born. Big shock and surprise to me.

I was about to be put to sleep for my endoscopy to locate the hernia so that way my insurance covered part of the lap band since my insurance excludes bariatric but covers hernias.
