    Meeting with your Surgeon... ASAP
  3. 1 point
    Hello everyone. I finally had surgery this past Monday, 11/18. It took my surgeon a while to get the Lapband out of me because of all the scar tissue that had accumulated. I was supposed to come home yesterday, but I couldn't. I was in so much freaking pain and had so much nausea that I stayed until today. So I sat in my favorite recliner after getting home for about 20 minutes and well, I've been in bed ever since. I knew it was going to be painful, but dang this really hurts. I'm not hungry at all which is the point/purpose. I've lost two pounds so far, and I know that as the swelling, gas, and pain fades, I will continue to get smaller. Yeahhhhh, now I'm excited and happy!

    We're all entitled to our opinions. And if you were implying it was the reason I got fat...no. Been this way most my life.

    Hello everyone I started at 306 n now I am 190 which is great but started having weird symptoms of bad heartburn and I wasn’t able to to eat or drink. On the 31st of December my surgeon went in and put a ballon to stretch my stomach out a bit which I can now drink but still not eat as much. But I am still having bad heartburn and stomach pain accompanied by like a burning up I’m not sure if what I am going through is normal.

    Feel so unsupported

    To @@heartofthetinman ... Reading your initial and subsequent posts, I think you are related to some of the most ignorant, selfish people I have ever read of. Sorry to talk that way about your people. They aren't educated about this surgery. Yet they refuse to be educated about it. They aren't showing you any love -- probably because they aren't loving people. Your husband really is an asshole. Sight unseen. Here's what it boils down to: Ultimately, each of us is responsible for the life we get. No matter what others do that affect us we all have to then respond. You can respond by caving in and becoming *their* victim (probably wouldn't be the first time you did that). OR you can make your decisions and have the conviction to follow through with your convictions. Accept that your family isn't going to support you -- at least not on the front end of this, and maybe not on the back end either. Maybe never. And what if you were wildly successful with your WLS and they never supported you -- because they (semi-consciously) felt how wrong they'd been, but didn't have the balls to own up to their ignorance and errors? You could still go on and live a much, much, much better and longer life than you will live as an obese person with all the health issues that come with that. You can bitch about them. And that's OK. But you still have to make your own decision. And you have to stick with it every day thereafter -- if you truly want to build a better life for yourself. I honestly, truly wish for you a better, happier, healthier life than you've got now. Things can get much better for you if you choose that different life.

    So pissed

    No, no, no!!!!! The pee must remain in your sight at all times until you see the jar sealed and you initial it. Your test was completely invalid! Did the surgeon's office do this, or was it at a lab?
