5 days post surgery and weird observation



Recommended Posts

I swear sometimes when I turn, move over or sit up I can hear the band in me. Generally this happens if I have been reclined back and go to sit up all the way. It sounds funky anyone else experience this?

Wow... are you sure? My surgery was 3 days ago and I need to know about this in advance. I don't want to be freaked out. I'm anxious to hear if anyone else has experienced the same.

I don't hear my band exactly. My stomach is noisy a lot. Maybe it's trapped gas? I'm five months out. I'm listening to my stomach right now. Lol

And what does your band sound like?

I didn't think about it being trapped gas. It sounds like if you were to rub your hand across a balloon but softer. I was not trying to alarm anyone and if I did I'm sorry. It's just an odd sound/feeling I experience and since this is all new to me I wanted to see if anyone else experienced something similar.

I can't say that I've ever heard mine. I CAN feel my port from the inside when I move certain ways though. Hearing/feeling your band move though ... I'd call your surgeon's office to ask about that.

No clue? Sounds like a question for your doctor?

DanaKat... I read the above thread thinking I read you wrote you "felt" your band, but as I read through, I realized I read wrong and then re-read your OP... It sounded funny the second time around (not that your question isn't valid/important)

Please let us know what you find. ;)

For the record...I'm now 8 days out and not a peep. I can, however, feel the band (I think) when I lay on my side in bed. I would definitely check with the physician.

I saw my doc yesterday and everything is fine. He has patients who have observed the same as myself and he just said we are in tune with our bands. Nothing wrong with my band and I finally got progressed to the next diet phase which includes real food finally!

      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.
