banded on the 26th, wanna cry

[dtrueba 0]

I was banded on 3/18/09 and was in the hospital for 3 days. I got pneumonia and the gas pains were sooooooo bad! I also had a fever and my blood pressure went down to 64/42!!! I was like, what the heck did I do!!??? now it has been 2 weeks - I still have gas and am vomiting, but I feel SO much better. It will get better - it just takes about a week of REST, walking, fluids and deep breathing. . . oh and gas x! Hope you feel better soon. I am not at 100% yet, but I am much better - there is a light at the end of the tunnel - and I lost 17 lbs in a week and a half.

Well the antibiotics have done what they were supposed to do so now I know what a normal person feels like after surgery. I am just a little tender still but I am not nearly as emotional and I am getting more and more energy as the days go on. Now if the scale moves I am happy :confused:

Hello all, I was banded 10/26/2007 and I am down 38lbs, 5 fills and it does get a whole lot better, you just have to keep up your fills and get to the point where I am at "stopping point" I am trying to figure out how to shake it up again.

Hey hey

How is everyone going. I still feel pretty slow I guess is the best word. I have great doctors though that are looking after me. I think Ive put on a lil weight but im carrying some Fluid in my lower body and still lots of sweeling from the infection. I hope you are all doing well

I am at week 3 and the weight loss has slowed but I knew that would happen. I feel mostly normal with being able to eat soft foods now. I am really looking forward to my first fill so I can feel the benefits of the band.

Ky, I am glad you are doing better! Hopefully in a week or two you will be back to normal and well on your way to loosing the rest of your weight!
