Had surgery 7/8/09 - new to site



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I've been a lurking here for sometime and truly appreciate all of the information I've learned. I just had by lap band surgery yesterday 7/8 with Dr. Hoehn in Overland Park, KS. Everything went great! My surgery was at 9:15am and I was home at 4:30pm. I'm sore now, particularly at my port site but am managing the discomfort with tylenol since the lortab makes me nauseated and goofy. I feel so good to finally post and introduce myself. Thanks so much and good luck to all!

OH, I'm so jealous! Congratulations. I wish the best of luck on your journey. A lady I work with had the procedure done about a year ago and she said a trick she learned was. In the morning, she would always (and still is) sick to her stomach from all mucus in her stomach. She told me to drink some hot tea first thing in the am and it will wash all that yucky stuff out of your pouch. She like peppermint tea the best! Good luck to you! The lady I work with has lost over 100lbs!

had mine done on 7/9. Doing good but I drank milk today and have been "dumping" all day. I guess milk isn't good for me. Lortab has helped alot. Plan to back to work next Thursday. I think this will be the best thing I've ever done!!!!! Good Luck!!!:confused:

      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.
