Banded Today 12Oct07

[sonic777 0]

Here I am with band, just under 12 hours out of the hospital. Everything is smooth so far. :whoo:

It took me longer to get over the anastisia (spelling could be incorrect) than I originally thought but that was over after 5 hours.

I did loose 7.5Lbs during the PreOp diet and feeling pretty good about it. The diet was easy to maintain. I have not updated my BMI scale below yet but I will once I get to feeling like sitting a bit longer.

Well done - don't overdo it but when your able try and get walking as this will help when the gas hits - I'm on day 6 and feeling better every day.

Good luck!

Hey Neal (Sonic) glad to hear you came through ok. Let's see, it's the 14th today and I expect you feel like you've been stabbed in the stomach about 5 times with a knife....... oh wait........ you HAVE been stabbed in the stomach 5 times except with a scalpel! So if it's a "bad day" hang in there. By day 5 postop you're practically normal again!

Hi Amy, glad to meet you!

Glad you are doing well. I actually took a few more days then some to be up and at em. I am feeling much better today on day 5. But the previous days I did not feel well. Heal up and get to feeling better before you push it too much. My problem was not pain, just extreme nausea.

I am surprised how it seems that each day I feel worse - I think a lot has to do with the fact that I am off all my other meds until I go back for my post op check this week. I think my other ailments are starting to take over. I feel AWFUL!!!!

I bet if I were a "normal" person I wouldn't feel so bad but because I am off all my anti-inflammatory meds and other pain killers, I bet that is why I feel so lousy.

Thanks for the kind words - I hope it gets better soon.... The nausea is starting to get to me today really bad as well...

Amy- I feel your pain. Today was the first day that I finally started to feel better and not have the nausea. I know it is so discouraging and awful to be so sick. Hang in there- my prayer was answered today and I am feeling relief. You will too soon- I promise.

Amy- how did your busy day go? I went back for my first day of work. It was long and boy am I tired. It will be nice when the weekend gets here to have a few more days to recoup. I have Friday's off, so only two more days to go!

Yesterday was pretty .. um .. bad - just wasn't feeling well at all - not due to the band - but due to other ailments. It was a very long day for me. Today - wasn't too bad (back to teaching today) and it was pretty great - except for the "I want to eat anything in sight - just give me something to chew on"

Great news on the Friday - that is nice.. I am taking friday off to just sit here and watch the boards and sleep... I too am ready for the weekend...

Going to be a couch potato for a bit now... chat at ya later..

How was your day today????

Today was my second day at work. I had a little scare. I was feeling a weird kindof pain around my heart/upper chest area when I woke up this morning. I called the doctor and he had me go do a chest x-ray, upper GI, and blood work. I guess what I was describing can sometimes be signs of a slippage. I was so freaked. But it sounded from the radiologist that everything looked okay. I will get the full report tomorrow at my first post of visit. Man was I worried!
