flipbarnett 0 Posted January 10, 2008 I got banded Jan 8th! YIPEE! I stayed overnight and did just fine. I did get a little sick to my stomach as I got up the first 3 times to go to the bathroom, but it eased up during the night. The air in the body is my most complant. It's in the left shoulder and driving me nuts. My port area is sore and my dr put 2 cc's in it for restriction already, and my throat is sore from the tube. Other than that I'm rather amazed at how good I feel. I'm so amazed at how I'm not hungry. I've lost 12lbs since the preop started on Dec. 26th. Good luck to all.

CJV 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Banded on Jan 09 Yesterday, and I am back home and doing just fine. Some tummy soreness, but nothing else. The gas is coming out own its own, and no complications at all. The staff at Barix is outstanding and ... it was cerainly a good experience for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhirlWinds 0 Posted January 11, 2008 I went for the pre-testing yesterday and everything is a go for the 23 of Jan. I went shopping for food today and got most of what I will be able to have afterwards...it looks like a lot of food lol...but it wasn't bad just seemed like I went to the food store for the first time...had to look and search for the right things to have in the house...Had a friend go with me to check everything (she also had bypass)I am being banded....we don't have pre op diet...but I am following the one in my Bible (book given to us yesterday) class This way I will be ready for it...doing as told I called Holland and checked with them there about the chewable Vit. I found and everything was good! Doing the breathing exercises. Now all I need to do is my homework from my night classesMy teachers are great and very understanding about my surgery. Willing to work with me I should only miss a week of classes (maybe only one class)I want to be in class I have 5 days between surgery and the next set of classes...any suggestions on how to relax? I am scared but excited...~WhirlWinds~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhirlWinds 0 Posted January 11, 2008 I hope everyone is doing good from past days of surgeries...and a very big HOPE everything turns out for those tomarrow surgeries... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CJV 0 Posted January 11, 2008 whirlwinds--relax is the optimal word. Barix is so technical and tight, they have this down to a science. The scary part for me was 5 minutes before they were to wheel me in. The surgeon, anethesiologist, nurses, and my family were all summons and the final prayer prayed, all was well except for a little nervous, but they have some wonderful stuff to give you in that IV bag that will make the journey very easy. Today I m banded and at home. You will do just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
