My Journey

[PeachAero 1]

Hello from Leesburg, GA. I am Denise, age 56. I am one week today post op lapband. I feel good but sore. I started strained Soups today. Looking forward to a pureed diet next weekend.

Besides extreme soreness, I have a dry cough after some meals. Anyone have this?

Looking forward to reading all your stories and interacting

Denise

I don't know if you've had a fill yet , but my dr told me that a cough can signal the band being too tight. I haven't had my surgery yet (11 days to go!), but I remember this being mentioned at my preop consult.

I haven't had a fill yet. I see my doc on Monday and plan on discussing

Maybe from the breathing tube. My nurse mentioned it.
