My surgeons office is closed all week. I know that my dr is on call 24 hours, I'm just trying to not bother him. I will try consuming more calories and drinking more. I will be sending my dad to get me some gatoraide later. I tolerate liquids and full cream blended soups just fine, I'm just not hungry so I forget to eat. So far I've had 1 protein drink and half a can of cream of chicken soup. That's been since 830am to 1230p. I'll keep on sipping. Plus... I haven't had a bowel movement since Friday. Could this be reason of nausea too?

3 days post op. First 2 days were fine. Today I've been so sick to my stomach. I've been able to keep my protein shakes down. I've taken my liquid Zantac as prescribed twice a day. Does anyone know if they sell those little stickers over the counter or something in a non pill form? Yuck I hate this feeling.

I had my lapband replaced yesterday 12/20/13. I had surgery at 7am and was out the door by 11am. The dr said I had quite a bit of scar tissue and the 10cc band was indeed too small for me. He said everything went perfect. I was very nauseous and in pain so they gave me meds n when I felt better I was walking to my car and my dad drove me home (1.5 hours). I walked and walked around the house. I woke up today and my word.... The worst pain ever is from the trapped gas. My shoulders and back are killing me. My port incision hurts a lot so I use my legs n arms to compensate .... So my legs feels like I did a thousand squats and my arms feel like I lifted 100lbs lol. So I'm just sore ALL over. I have 0 appetite ... But I got 1.5 Protein Atkins shake down and half a can of really milky cream of chicken soup w out the chicken chunks. Strained it. Instead of 5 incisions I only have 2. But hey whatever works. If this gas would go away, I'm sure I'll feel a lot better. I have gas x strips. Don't find much relief. Heating pad and hot shower helps more. Here's for round two for me!

Are you eating small portions and chewing? Yes my new dr told me I def needed a bigger band and I have scar tissue. I had surgery yesterday and the dr said I def had scar tissue which he removed and he said my 10 cc band was def too small. So I'm hoping things will get better. Ask your what he thinks.

I had my size 10cc band for 3.5 years. It created scar tissue underneath bc of it being too small for my surgery. My main dr kept telling me that I'm eating wrong etc but I wasn't. I am a very by the book type person. So in January of 2013 I went to a new dr. He gave me options... It took me this long to decide. So I went back n we discussed it all again. Andddd now I'm 1 day post op. Dr said everything went amazing. He removed scar tissue and the band was indeed too small for my stomach. He doesn't understand why my main dr would have placed it in the first place. So, im hoping I'll be on the right path after all this liquid n mushie stuff is over lol.

I'm nervous as heck. So scared of the pain or nausea ... I have hour n half drive back home. I dread that the most. I am scared... But I have faith all will be ok. Thank you so much for encouraging words.

My band slipped and developed scar tissue. Making it hard to eat. Surgery is tomorrow morning at 7 am. Eeeeekkkkk.

I'm not in brevard but I'm in Polk. About a hour away. Congrats on your surgery. I had my lapband 3.5 years but go in on Friday for surgery to have my lapband replaced. My current lapband is too small. What are you experiencing?

My surgery date is the 20th. I am very nervous, mainly bc things are happening so fast. One min in the dr office next thing I know I'm having surgery Ina week! Currently on liquid diet. Ready to get this over with. I pray all goes well and the pain subsides quickly.. Pre op appt is Wednesday.

Woot! My surgery date is also the 20th. I'm currently on a liquid diet. How are you doing ? I'm nervous as well. I guess I'm most worried about pain and recovery. Oh and maybe the surgery lol

I am also a dec bandsters. I am getting my lapband removed and the larger one placed. I'm nervous about the pain but reading your post reassured me it does go away in due time. Recovery stinks lol

Where are you located ? I am in fl. Regardless chatting n exchanging food ideas sound great !

I have decided to have my 10cc band replaced with the 14cc band due to complications. I am having surgery this Friday at 7am... And even tho this is my 2nd go around I've totally forgot what the healing and recovery process is like lol. I have a heating pad, gas x strips, pillows to sit up, broth, Popsicles , water, and protein shakes. Am I missing anything ? I am so nervous that this go around is going to be painful. Has anyone else had their band replaced ? Was it much different from the first surgery? And did anyone else dr mention scar tissue removal? Thanks for reading.

UPDATE:: I have decided to have the band replaced, and shockingly enough.... One week liquid diet and I have surgery this Friday at 7am. Wow! I'm nervous and anxious. Please send prayers and well wishes. I sure need em.
