April 22 Lap Band Op

[dink007 15]

Well Trayg will love to hear from you with how it went and some insure on the first couple of days after surgery.

Did anyone who was working take time off for op and recovery? I've got 3 weeks off to help with getting into new routine.

15 days to go getting very nervous and very excited.

How are you going banded people?

The gas pains suck....it's hard to take deep breathes, and I live on the second floor...

I was told that can happen. They say you need to stay away from carbonated drinks to help limit that. Do you have that?

I do not drink carbonated drinks. It's just all apart of the procedure.

Happy belated birthday! You may want to try to ween yourself from the sod now because believe me, you're not going to want to drink that after surgery. Keep up the good work on your pre op diet.

i'm not a soda crack addict, but my nurse at the surgeon's office said to mix it up with the powder to get it down over these last 2 weeks. i would love to drink it with soy but i'm not allowed to for now.

Lol soda crack addict.... Really, they encouraged it? That's odd. But this forum has showed me that many doctors do things differently.

[cccv4 85]

yes, including the pre-op part!!! i can't believe the different diets out there! how i got stuck with the liquid only, i'll never know.

[prettyandbrwn 40]

That's horrible. I got to eat one small meal, and I ended up cheating, eating popcorn instead....not a huge cheat, but not the best idea.

Someone else commented about wind pain something to look forward to. I'm still very excited but more nervous now. Keep asking myself if I'm doing the right thing.

I felt the same way until I was knocked out. I have even felt that now for a few days but in the long run I know this is the right choice for my health. This is a tool that we are being given. I am now 4 days post op and am feeling better. both physically and mentally. Hope this helps.
