Banded June 3rd! Delayed about 1 week due to the band restriction right from the start. Had too much swelling post op and couldn't keep any liquids down. Hospitalized for 3 nights and 3 days on IV for dehydration and steroids for inflammation. Came home June 9 to start Clear Liquids again. Had my 1 week post op appt today and they said I can move to full liquids and then maybe by Monday I can finally start soft foods-mushies. I gained about 11 lbs since day of surgery from the IV fluids, I am super swollen everywhere.

Anyway, I am good to go now and over that road block. Looking forward to eating/living with the band.

Welcome to all Juners!

Hey plopez,

I see your Dr. is Esquivel. That's mine too. I have the surgery in August. How did you like him?

Hey GBB

Are you going through True Results?

I liked the Dr. But wished I seen him more.

You deal with others until about a week before..then a group meeting with the Dr and others having surgery . I actual liked this because other people may have questions that you haven't thought.

Went to San Antonio for lapband. Dr was great and staff. They paid for the stay at a nice hotel and gave us a 50$ gas card. Everything they said to me about pricing and everything never changed. I go Monday for my first fill. I'm happy with my decision and happy I chose True Results.

Keep in touch.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
