RedBone Creole 4 Posted October 8, 2009 I had my surgery on October 1st and everything is going great so far. Only thing is I had no idea how often I drop things on the floor and have to pick it up - just so painful. LOL! I know. As long as you bend and squat with your legs & knees there is no strain. I'm feeling great too. 5 days post op with a repaired hernia! :wink2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ca7696 1 Posted October 8, 2009 Hi all I am FINALLY home!!!! I got banded on friday Oct 2nd. I had some problems ............. first was the anesthea( i wont scare anyone) second when i had the swallow test on sat no liquid passed thru. So I got my first adjustmant one day after surgery...wow!!! the doc pulled one half ml out of my band. The barium passed thru slowly afterwards. He ;et me go home at 3oopm on sat. I drank about 2 oz of Water on sunday and had feeling like it was just sitting there. Brought it back up. I was vomitting all day and night.I tried toughinh it out sippingly slowly etc take my time.I called doc on Monday and off to ER on Monday afternoon, I was admitted for dehydration. I was throwing up my own saliva. I had abnormal amount of swelling and it closed the band . After three days of swallow tests and constant IV's . the liquid passed thru the band. I came home on Weds night. Doc said by weekend all the swellen should be gone. As of Thurs morning I am able to hold down water-liquids.just sipping real slowly and taking time inbetween. I cant wait to start the "real" diet and get some mush and puree in me.... I gues the good thing out of all this is Since last Thursday I lost 12 pounds.....lol.........even after all the BS Iam still glad I got banded and keep staring at that Leather NY Jet coat I bought three years ago and dreaming about it fitting again.

jalgerman 0 Posted October 9, 2009 October 22! I'm soooooo nervous! all the complications, problems. But on the other hand, I'm soooo ready. my Dr. hasn't told me of the pre op diet, but I was going to start one next week anyway. Does everybody have to have the endoscopy?
