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:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
