Get her some gatoraide and have her sip only 1 ounce every hour. Sip very slow and very little at a time and make it last for one hour!

You are doing great! I am 4 days post op and still have the diareaha. I'm still on liquids and really want nothing but cold beverages to drink. I am down 17 pounds from pre op weight.

I got up and walked as soon as I could after surgery. I know I got up 8 times through the night to use the restroom the day of surgery. I also took the GasX stripes and that did help. Mine was gone within 24 hrs. I didn't start passing gas until my 2nd day post op.

As soon as I had surgery the pain was gone and never came back. I've had mine out for 30 years now.

I am happy to hear you are doing great. I do have a couple of questions for you. Can you please tell me 1. What you are eating? 2. What you are drinking and if you can drink diet soda? 3. What kind of Vitamins are you on and do you have any problems keeping them down? 4. How often do you eat and can you tell me about how much you can eat at one setting? EX.. 1/4 or 1/2 cup of food? 5. Any pain from the surgery and how long did the pain last if any? 6. Do you feel hungry? 7. Was there a period before surgery that you had a limited diet and if so what? I hope you continue to do well and I am looking forward to hearing updates. Can you tell us what your starting weight was? What do you want to get down to?

Hello, I'm thinking about having the lap band done and I do have a few questions.. 1. Did you vomit a lot or even any? 2. what do you eat eh first month? 3. I live in SE Indiana and want to find a Dr. that I can trust and who has experience who can I go to? I have BCBSTX PPO INS> I do suffer from HB, Pre-Diabetic and am 110 pds over weight. I'm 5'5 and weight 258. What are my chances of my insurance covering this? 4> How much pain is there involved to filling and what all is involved? 5. How long from beginnig the process to actually getting the process done? I'm sure I will come up with more later but this is a good start. Thank you
