Keep up the great attitude and you will suceed!

Congratulations! Great attitude keep it up. I am 9 days out. I have a little apetite. But I pretty much make myself eat dinner to keep my strength up. i seem to get weak late in the afternoon. But i am extremely happy with my band. I feel kinda hungry in the morning then about 1 o'clock but after that I am not hungry the rest of the day. I just get a little nauseous but not too bad. I dont know if that means I am hungry. I am still learning my bands sighns. Well good luck on your journey.

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!!!

I had surgery on Monday this week. I also have sharp pain when I take a deep breath. I didnt have a hernia repair. People on this sight told me it is where the band is and it can also be the gas they put in. I have found that it is worse when I standup strait. If i lean forward and take a deep breath it doesnt hurt hardly at all. I hope it goes away soon. Good luck on your journey. That pain is the only complaint I have. I am also having difficulty drinking enough Water. Does anyone know how to tell if you are dehydrated?

My doctor told me 8 weeks for puublic pools , rivers ,lakes ,or ocean. 4 weeks for your own pools or hot tubs. I hope this helps,

Well I went in at 9:30 and was out by 10:15. Recovery room until 12:15. I wanted to tell that it wasnt very bad all. I am eating Jello and have not gotten nausious . The only complaint is I have cotton mouth. I have a patch behind my ear so I dont get nausious . Thats whats causing the cotton mouth. I am going to keep it there until morning. I just wanted to post a positive post . I know how scary it is to read posts with so many complications. I am ready to do this and follow directions to a T. I hope everyone that had surgery today has just as good orf an outcome. Please post how your experience was today. Sorry if some of this is all over the place I am under the influence ( pain meds). Good luck to everyone who is getting close to surgery. I would like to hear your experiences good or bad.

I started my preop diet today. Mine is to drink a Protein Shake for Breakfast and a snack. Then have a half portion lunch and dinner. I am suppose to stay away from carbs and starches. I am going to try to do only the half portion for dinner and halve my Protein shake for lunch. I feel the more I can lose before surgery the safer my liver will be. Wish me luck! By the way my diet is 2 weeks.

congratulations!! Today is a great day I got approved after over a year. I had to change doctors to get approved my first office dropped the ball. It took less than two weeks with the new office.

It has only taken 13 months and 2 different doctors to get approved but finally got the ok. Tomorrow I call the surgons office to start the ball rolling. I just had let someone know I am so excited. I am soo ready for this journey. I have been lurking on here for months just reading. I want to thank everyone for all the information I have learned.
