Hello from Southeast Georgia

I was banded yesterday 06-13-08. My physician is Dr. Harold Kent at Georgia Coast Surgical. So far so good. I had a few problems during recovery (oxygen dropped and nausea was horrible. Any way, the nurses called the surgeon back in and he removed 2cc of Fluid out the band, was put on oxygen and restarted IV fluids. Nausea subsided.

Today, I am still a little short of breath but getting around pretty good. The hospital staff wanted me to stay overnight, I just could not see that happening. Nothing like home sweet home.

Oh, by the way. How do you add the meter and other information to the end of the posts?

Hey There Peach.

I was banded on the 9th by Dr. Henderson. Had the same problem post op. I did end up staying in the hospital but they did not take any Fluid out. Were you at the weekend workshop last weekend?

I had my band put in by Dr. Henderson on August 27, 2007. Since then, I have lost 84 lbs. I just recently had him fill my band, but he overfilled it. I could not eat or drink anything because it would feel like it was hanging in my esphogus. I went back just a couple of days ago and he removed 1cc of Fluid and it helped tremendously. :)

Thanks everyone for the help on the ticker site.

Yes, I was in Brunswick last weekend for the 2 day conference. I sat on the side where the doors are. I had my teenage daughter with me.

Keep in touch

      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.
