1 week post-op

So.... I had surgery on November 17, 2010.... not at all as bad as I expected it to be...took pain and anti-nausea medications first night... Didn't touch the stuff again after that, did pretty good with Tylenol Rapid Blast Liquid....Surgery went great according to surgeon...took about 45 minutes or so... had a little bit of nausea and moderate pain right after surgery, but by day two I was in Walmart...lol..... It's now a week out and I am feeling great, no nausea, no vomiting, gas is tons better and i am down, including pre-op diet and 1 week post-op, 30 lbs.... starting weight was 340, as of today weight is 310.....Now I am doing my second week diet with full liquids... going pretty good, no nausea or vomiting, I can tell the difference now in how much sooner I am satisfied...... I am so happy and so proud of myself.... still a little sore in the umbilical area, but nothing that stops me from doing anything.... post op follow up is next week, hope to be down to around 300 by then..... wish me luck!!!!!

Congrats! I too was banded the same day and almost the exact same experience! I didn't have much gas either and as soon as I was released from the Hospital I did not continue with the pain meds either...didn't need them! I have taken nothing except 10 days anti-biotics. I am a self pay so there was no pre-op diet, surgery was in PV Mexico (I am from Canada) and I was able to enjoy some sunshine as well which was great for the soul! I have lost 12.4 lbs in 6 days and too am very proud of myself!

Keep up the great work!!!
