I just had surgery done on July 25, 2011. I chose to have lap band surgery with the plication option-something rather new for this operation in this area (Pittsburgh). It has only been a few days since surgery so I am still on liquids but feel happy with my decision. I chose to have the plication in addition to the band because this method helps prevent band slippage and aids in a quicker weight loss. The actual stomach is not cut at all but rather "puckered" in and stiched together, sort of like in a sleeve operation.
So far I have done well on the liquids....It has been rough but I am fighting through it! My only concern is that so far even after I eat my protein meals & drink liquids, my stomach is CONSTANTLY growling! I do feel full, but not restricted. I'm wondering if the band is loose to allow time for healing?
I have had minimal pain-roxicet was perscribed and works well. My incisions are nearly healed already and pain is slowly diminishing. My hospital stay was about 2 days. I have had nausea and diareahha, but no vommiting thus far! (knock on wood).
I am taking a chewable multivitamin, my prescribed medications, and pepcid to reduce acid. I was also prescribed actigall since i still have my gall bladder, this medicine prevents gall stones.
Other than the constant stomach growling, I have had no other issues. I'm looking forward to eating solid foods again!!!
I'm starting at about 250 and looking to eventually get down to 130.
Any advice, questions, opinions are appreciated!!!
