May 2007 Banders



Recommended Posts

Holy medicine! I can't believe how much they gave you! Good to hear you didn't need it all! Congrats on that!

I got 30 2mg tablets of Dilaudid--maybe took 10 over the first three days...none today. I am still sore, but not in pain so to speak.

Does anyone out there get uncomfortable sitting straight up? I feel like I have a bubble under my ribs when I sit up straight for any amount of time.

I have pain in my port area when I try to sit at the table and lean over to eat. My port is about 4 in. up and 2 in. over from my belly button (right under my rib cage) on myleft side. That area seems hard (I can feel the port) and maybe a little swollen. That is the only area I still have steri strips on. I am 10 days out.

I do not want to complain because I feel very lucky to have had this surgery and there are people who suffer more than this everyday but here goes.....

My band/stomach still hurt very much. Every sip I take hurts when it passes through. I have growling that is painful. I usually have a high threshold of pain but this is getting old! I feel like I should be getting better instead of just staying the same. My belly is very hard/swollen and I had the surgery Monday! I may just be too impatient because I had gall bladder surgery and was back to work within 2 days. I find that every few minutes I wince with pain, not exrutiating (sp) but still stops me in my tracks. That is why I have been on this site non stop for the last 5 days. I have missed a few of my kids sporting events this weekend because I have not told anyone about the band and I could not keep a conversation with the other parents with the pains that I get. Yes I would like some cheese with my whine!!!

Please tell me this is happening to someone else...misery love company!:)

Thanks for any insight you may have.......

Yes, METALBAND, misery loves company! I hear ya. We are bandmates. I was banded Monday as well. From what I had read about this being so easy, I thought I would have been better by now, also. Nope. I am still swollen, bloated, and still wearing elastic waisted pants. I doubt there is any way I could get my jeans on at all. I came home from the hospital weighing 10 pounds heavier than the day I left. It hurts like hell to get in/out of bed or to try and roll over. Even after all of this time, most of the sleep I get is in the recliner. My port is also swollen and bruised and just plain sore. And yes, I still have those growling cramps... they hurt! For me, sitting down with the heating pad helps a little, but realistically, you can't do that all day long.

Hang in there. We are in this together. I will always be happy to share some "whine" with you.:)

Okay, I have been hugely lucky in that I have had very very little pain post surgery....either from incision or gas (much). However, every day about the same time (about 9:00 pm) I get a headache on the left side. Can you have gas in your neck? It also seems to involve my trapenzius muscle and the cord running up the left back of my neck. I can knock it out with minimal pain meds fairly quickly. I can be relatively pain free all day and then this sets in pretty much like clockwork. Anyone else have this?

Kacee,

Yes. I had quite a bit of pain in the back of my neck on days 2-3 post op. It has since subsided. Hopefully, yours will too! Have you tried the heating pad on it? It helped me.

I was just banded onthe 23rd. My insicisions all look good except for I am a bit concerned about my port incision. It doesn't hurt really but it does look a little icky under the tape, a portion of it anyhow. I go to my post op appt with my dr on Tuesday. I have antibiotics. shold i take one or two just in case?

my steri strips have just fallen off one incision but some of the tape has lifted off of the corners and my skin is very red and rashy from the adhesive on the steri strip. I started putting Vitamin E on the parts I could reach and they look better.

You should never take 1 or 2 antibiotics. You must finish the course once you start taking them. My thoughts are with all of you guys. I hope you all feel better in a few days.

Thanks for sharing some whine. It does make me feel better LOL. I just wasn't sure if it was me being miss impatient or if this was normal. Seems like we are in this together, same day, same pain!!! I am going back to work Tuesday and I do not want to be wincing in someones face, or growling for that matter!

I just keep reminding myself that Life Is Good, and I am very lucky that these are my only complaints.....life could be worse! No more pity party!

Have a great healing long weekend!

Ok guys.....6 days post op! I feel good today. Still a little sore but not bad. I went to my nephews birthday party yesterday and just sat on the couch and visited with family and friends. I havent told anyone about my surgery so I felt a little bit mysterious. Like I was lying to everyone......usually I am a open book.....but I know my family(my husbands family) and they will just be very judgemental and make me feel bad. Well after the 3 hours at the party (sat on the couch) I was exhausted. I had to come home and take a nap. I fing myself shrugging my shoulders up....like that is going to eliviate pain from my belly???? I trying to figure out in my head how am I am gonna deal with my husbands bad eating habits....he has to have Mcdonalds,burgerking,whataburger! Dont get me wrong I love that stuff too.....I just dont want to try it....and realize I can still get it down.....and then eat it all the time. I had this nightmare about a cheeseburger last night......it was a kids double cheeseburger from Mcdonalds. I went throught the drive through and ordered it....and sat in my car alone and had decided to take one small bite to get rid of the craving and throw the rest away.......well I took one bite and I went crazy and ate the whole thing like I was a wild animal and that my stomach started to hurt real bad like I was dying! Then I woke up because I was laying wrong and my side was hurting! This moring was terrified.....anyone else worried about loosing control????

I have that problem with DP eating whatever she wants all the time. One weekend I was on my liquid diet and we were out running errands/spending time. During the course of the day she stopped at taco bell, zesto's, and ate things like taco supremes, hot fudge sundaes, fried onion rings, you get the picture! That was hard!

My trick has been to keep myself full. If I was watching her eat those things and was sitting there hungry, it would have been disastrous! I always keep a packet of cup of Soup on me and a soup at hand in the car so I don't have to worry about what I'm going to eat. As long as I'm not hungry when she's eating it, it's not that bad. Hope that helps!

Maalani,

I said a prayer for you this morning. Try to stay positive, and take care of yourself.

I went for my post op (8 days) last Friday and was concerned about the look of my incisions too. I had taken off the icky, bloody strips off of the outer ones and replaced them with some band-aid butterfly things. BAD idea. 2 days later I went down to my Mom's armed with supplies and had to say "help me Mommy! Fix it" I was in such pain and the darn strips were giving me some sort of reaction and it HURT. The strips took the skin off so now I have raw spots on either side of the incisions. One even blistered! Gads. So I asked the Dr. about it the next day and he said the healing looked fine and that he preferred no bandaids and that at this point nothing was going to come open anyway. I will have to trust him. He also said not to use alcohol but a vaseline type or baby oil to take off the strips. Sat. I was so uncomfortable around my port incision that still had the strips on it (that were gross from the Neosporin) that I took them off too. It feels so much better now. I think the strips were pulling and I was getting a rope-y feeling along the cut. Still looks a bit gruesome, but feels much better.

4th day now. I switched from the big meds to tylenol today, and feel about the same as yesterday. I figure about the same without the heavy drugs is progress.

It's the change of possition that causes the most pain. Once I'm up and get loosened up i can stay up for awhile. The intestinal noises sound like dinosaur night at the WWF :drum:

Hello All.

Been laying low since the surgery. Each day is better, but I just

don't have the energy that some of you are lucky enough to

have. The pain lessens each day, but the fatigue is dreadful -

made worse by the heat here in the northeast! And of course,

I didn't put my air conditioners in the windows before being banded!

A friend is coming over later in the week to do that for me. So lucky

to have good friends!

My incisions look great, I can move a bit better each day, and am

finally starting to feel hungry. The whole neighborhood is filled with

the smells of burgers, corn and other yummies on grills! But, my

sf Jello is good too! LOL!

Hope everyone banded this month is doing well, and that our final

week of a-MAY-zing bandsters have uneventful surgeries. Best to

cutiepie77 who joins bandland tomorrow.

Cheers,

Margaret

      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.
