skinnyme52 0 Posted August 20, 2008 Hello Bug, thanks for thinking of me. I am feeling better. I went to the doctor and he said my lungs were clear, but put me on Levaquin (antibiotic) just in case and gave me some strong cough medicine with codeine. Well, after about 2 days, my cough subsided and I am starting to feel much better. He thinks it was just bronchial irritation from the tube down my throat for anesthesia. I am hungry again and feel like I can eat a lot, but I am limiting myself to 1 cup of food even though I feel like I could eat more. I think the swelling has gone down now and without a fill, I am feeling hungry. I think I will be going for my fill at 4 weeks. I don't feel much different now than before surgery. I have been losing very slowly also. I'll keep you posted. Take care. Sandy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skinnyme52 0 Posted August 23, 2008 Hi Bug, yep, everything is fine now that I'm eating real food. Never thought the day would come. I even experienced my first stuck food episode. Ate some really dry chicken and didn't chew well enough and guess what? It didn't feel very good. I guess it's going to take some practice eating with the band. I can't imagine what it will be like with the fill. How does anything go down? I am a little nervous. I'll keep you posted on my progress and you do the same okay?

chefette 0 Posted November 14, 2008 I was banded November 5 2008 and I live in Spring Hill, but I'm actually in Pasco County right off of SR 52. I've lost just about 20lbs since my pre-op diet started. I'm looking for those who would like to meet up for exercise, cooking classes, and general supportive efforts. I am a trained professional cook. I'd like to come up with some recipes for pre-op and post-op stages that are delicious and healthy. I was also banded in Tijuana by Dr. Corvala. If anyone has questions about my experiences I'd love to talk to you. It was a FIRST Class operation in Mexico and I was treated like a queen. Kisses to all, Chefette:biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donna450 130 Posted November 23, 2013 Hello in Spring Hill, I am also in Spring Hill and scheduled for my surgery on July 31st. I will be traveling to Parker, Colorado for my surgery because I decided against Mexico. How did yours go? Any complications? I am a little nervous, but very excited at the same time. I am starting out at 255 lbs. I hope we can stay in touch and compare notes. Good luck to you and don't get discouraged. The weight will come off. My name is Sandy and hope to hear from you. Hi I live in hudson just down the road. How are u doing? I got banded 8-23-13 from dr grossbard in Zepyrhills. I haven't done real well. Not the band just can't keep food down most of the time. I haven't had a fill yet either. So I'm doing something terribly wrong. I usually slime up most of my first few bites...exceot eggs some chicken noodle dishes and fish and Protein smoothies. Some other things. Possibly not eating slow enough or chewing it up but I feel I do. Sorry I didnt mean to run on. Maybe you have some tips. Thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
