Recommended Posts



Oh wow! Im glad everything went well with you. I have always had a high heart rate but it has slowed down since I started taking heart medication. I'm trying my best to get some rest before tomorrow morning, but it's impossible. Thank you so much.

My resting heart rate before surgery was 120. I tried different medications but each caused problems with my asthma. Now 11 months out my resting heart rate is 56! This has saved my life.
I know what you mean I couldn't sleep the night before either. Keep us posted.

Wow, 56 is amazing! I'm glad you're doing better. Mine has always been around 120-165 and they have me on Propranolol 2x a day. It's definitely been helping me. I was informed of two leaky valves in my heart but I should be ok. I definitely will keep you all posted. Thank you.

Praying for a safe surgery and speedy recovery for you! My surgery is Tuesday so I have shared in your nervousness but I have learned to 1) trust God is with me 2) I've been trying different deep breathing techniques to reduce anxiety and stress 3) every time a negative thought comes to mind I just speak something positive! You will do great! Please keep us updated

Thank you so much. I was discharged already and now I'm at home trying to rest. I'm in the worst pain of my life. The gas that's in my stomach is shooting up to my shoulders and they also had to repair a hiatal hernia. I will be rooting for you next Tuesday. Thank you for your encouraging words, I truly appreciate it.

Hello everyone. My lap band surgery went well. When the anesthologist came in, he was talking to me and put something in my IV and I can't remember anything after that. All I remember is waking up. They told me they need to repair a hiatal hernia. I'm at home now and in the worst pain of my life because of the incicions but more because the gas is shooting up to my shoulders. Do you recommend I drink a Protein made shake? Or just wait it out?
I appreciate each and everyone of you and I thank you for being there for me.

I was thinking about you today! Glad you are doing okay. If you feel you are ready for protein and it's on your plan then go for it. Small sips, the smallest you have ever taken and go slow. Yes, the gas pain is BAD. Walk as much as you can and every day will be better then the last!

Awwww, thank you so much. I drank a little protein but I stopped. I can't seem to even lay down and sleep because of the gas pain. I am noticing myself cough up yellow stuff...is that normal?

I'm sorry for the delayed response. You're welcome! I'm glad to hear it went well! I'm doing a little better. I'm still having gas pain but it's not as bad. I'm currently at my post op appointment now. I wish you a speedy recovery!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
