One week and one day out!!



Recommended Posts

Well, I was banded a week and a day ago!! All the pain I was experiencing at the port site, is almost all gone except for a little soreness in the area. Who would have thought a few days ago, I would be feeling this good? I went back to work yesterday and had a 12 hr. work day and felt good other than just a little more tired than usual. I can't believe it has been only a week and I feel so good. Did everyone else feel this good? When should I be able to go back to the gym, even for just the treadmill? I am definitely glad I had this done and would not change anything about my whole experience. B)

Hey Vanesa~

Congratulations on a successful surgery and a swift recovery! B)

Sounds like you are doing really well already!

I hope I'm in your shoes, in that I mean I hope I have a swift recovery also when I have my surgery. LOL.

Just try not to over do it since it is so soon already. I'm sure a little walking will do you fine. Just give it a little more time, so everything can get all healed up nicely.

Now hopefully you have all this energy when you can start doing more things huh? LOL. Good luck to you. :D

i started walking the day after surgery. I asked my doctor when i can start kickboxing, she said until i get a bit more weight off she didnt want me doing high impact so i dont mess up my knees. You have to go by how you feel, i would not go body building right now but im sure you can walk and do some stretching.

I have port pain off and on, i just take motrin and it goes away, i also have some shoulder pain if i eat to fast.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
