Banding in the morning!



Recommended Posts

Good luck!! I got mine on Aug 2nd, the pain is there but it's more of an annoying pain so don't be scared, I had to get some medication to calm my anxiety and that helped a lot!! So if your really nervous just ask them for something. Let me know how you feel tomorrow if you are able to!

The biggest problem I had immediately after surgery was pain when I tried to sleep on my side, I had severe back pain already so sleeping on my back has always been an issue, the swollen area on my stomach felt Fluid filled and heavy for several days after surgery and that was a little uncomfortable but the pain was tolerable with a little liquid hydrocodone that my doc gave me.....I did have a little trouble breathing a few hours after surgery but they left me on the oxygen and sent a respiratory therapist in to see me every four hours and everything turned out fine. GOOD LUCK!!!

Hi. I read about pain and was worried. I had no pain at all. Went to work 3 days later. Stayed overnight at hospital bec I suffer from diabetes. I was glad n happy to bec u want to make sure everything is ok before u go home. Only prob I had was getting out of bed. No gas then. Now more after eating. Just an issue to deal with...nothing more. My nutritionist said I had no pain bec I drank go veggie a powder drink substitue providing u with lots of veggies we normally dont eat. It will all depend on yr body. Everyone I read has a different experience. In the end, the majority would do it sgain if they have to including me. Keep me posted post op.

      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.
