Hello everyone, I'm offically one of you a (Bandsters)

My Surgery time was Scheduled for 11:00am, I went in at 10:30 am and was out of surgery at 11:30 am. I was in recovery until 2:00pm and was released. I also had a Hernia my doctor told my family it was very big so Dr Cywes repaired it.

I'm taking 15ml of Hydrocodone-Apap solution Qua. Every 4-6 hrs last time I took it was at 10:00 pm last night. I also have a prescription for promethazine 25 mg Tablet. Its for nausea, but I'm feeling great.

As you no I was on the 2 day liquid diet before surgery, when they weigh me in yesterday I had lost another 5 pounds so My weight as of now is 222.00 pounds going into surgery. My doctor has me on the liquid diet for another 4 days. But so far no appetite.

My doctors office called me this morning to see how I'm doing. And so did the hospital where I had the procedure done.

I hope and pray that everyone else due to have surgery will be as smooth sailing as mine.

I'm now 5 days post-op and I'm feeling better each day the soreness is getting a little less. I started my full liquids on Monday with means I get to add the Atkins on to my Clear Liquids. My first Appt is march 5th. How is everyone else doing?

Welcome to LapBandTalk?

Did you have a hiatal hernia? I had one of those and I was so happy when they fixed it. No more GERD!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
