banded yesterday

[jewels41 0]

I was banded yesterday and doing well. I had my surgery at 8:30 am and I had to stay until I was feeling better. Well I got dizzy way too many times and wanted to vomit but I didnt they thought that the surgery dehydrated me which they found it had so they hydrated me .. six iv bags later with sodium chloride and I was much more stable to go home and no more dizziness or that feeling that I wanted to vomit. So finally at 8:30 p.m. I got to go home.. yeah .. Now today Im doing fine walking alot no gas pains other than what I call my normal gas pains.. have been burping and able to pass gas easily with no problem.. so Im doing well and hope everyone else who was banded yesterday is doing well too..

oh and they weighed me before surgery I have lost 14.5 lbs on my liquid diet..

Welcome to Bandsterland Jewel! Glad to hear you are doing well.

Just curious, did they not give you IV before surgery started?

Glad no gas pains (other than normal). Good for you keeping up the walking and all the pre-op lost! Have a good rest.

yes they sure did give me an iv before, antibiotics and im sure sodium chloride. But Im sure glad they found out that i needed to be hydrated then to have just sent me home dehydrated then we would have had some major problems.

Just woke up now to take some tylenol .. but doing very well.. I dont know why I was so worried about pain.. lol doing great
