ONE WEEK CHECK UP AFTER BAND!!

By jennifer1

· 367 views

I cant believe it's been one whole week since I've been banded. I returned to work on Thursday and it wasnt that bad. My doc says i'm doing fine. I've lost 15 pounds since May6th(the day of my pre-op testing). I'm really proud of that. I started mushes/pureed foods today. I cant explain how excited i was to have scrambled eggs for breakfast! LOL! I go back in 3 weeks for my first fill. i explained how fearful i was of the fill and he reassured me i wont feel it cuz he will numb the area. I'm so pissed cuz i forgot to ask about my hernia, where is was and how large was it and most importantly will i get another bill!!!!! LOL! Well hope everyon has a great weekend. i have to work but i'm off on monday!

    CONGRATS JEN!

    What an accomplishment...I'm still on liquids! I called my dr's office and asked if I could eat some real food and they were like NOPE! They said it was because they sewed a part of my stomach on top of the band to prevent slippage, and they want it to completely heal. I am hungry and I'm tired of drinking protein shakes. I would love to have some scrambled eggs right now!

    well done indeed! I am interested to see that your post/op was 1 week after surgery, mine was 2 weeks. Also, I was on full liquids for 2 weeks after surgery. Finally, my Dr. will only do a fill if I need it, he has no fixed schedule like so many others have. That is why I used him... he treats every patient according to their needs. He did say that as I lose weight, the band will need to be tightened as the fat around the stomach goes away, the band will get looser.
