Just got banded yesterday!



Recommended Posts

So far so good! Not bad gas pain at all. Was done at noon yesterday. Came home around 2. Had some bad pain in my upper back around midnight last night. My fiancee tapped and massaged my back for an hour, then I was able to release the gas and I have been fine ever since. Pain meds are helping. I'm on the shakes today. I haven't vomited once. Not even right after surgery. I hope it stays this easy.

Thanks! It's my work picture. When does the abdominal pain go away? It's hard to sit up from a flat position. Hard to roll over in bed.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
