Thank you all I'm so happy still in pain but Happy

I had my surgery 2 days ago and I'm still a lot of pain

I called him so I go in tomorrow see what he says.thanks

I had the Lap Band Surgery 2 days ago and I have so much pain no gas pain just all in my stomach it's worse than a c section when does it get better, I can barely walk

My surgery was on Dec 27 2011.I got there at 10:30 Had to be there at 11:00 for surgery at 1:00 pm.they didn't take me back until 12:15 because no room so they said we have to rush rush.they had a hard time putting IV in maybe 6 tries and 3 nurses.they finally got it. Then they put a injection in my belly for blood clots.a little after I started to cough and had chest pain so right away they did ekg and chest xray. So this took awhile. It was already 1:30 so I missed my turn had to wait till everything was OK so at 2:30 it was my turn.they put me in operating table and gave me a shot and said goodnight. I didn't wake up till 4:30 they gave me some tea.and I had to go to bathroom right after they took me to do xray and drink that nasty stuff they had to take 3 xray so three times I drank that stuff.everything looked good so went back to my room and they just monitored me so I didn't throw up and had no pain so I went home at 10:45 pm. They gave me percocet I filled that and finally went home.I wasn't in a lot of pain this morning I felt a little pain took my meds but no gas or pain in shoulder.

Today is my birthday and yesterday I had my band put in.so this is my present to me I just hope I don't fail.still in pain and doc said liquids for three weeks.I'm so Happy. Here I come new year.

I hope I don't have to do it thanks for the advice

Good luck mine is on Dec 27 actually today I'm nervous but will be glad to get it overwith.

I'm on my way to my surgery buy so nervous I'm starting to regret it I think I'm the most scared of drinking the barrium I notice some people do drink it and some don't I really hate nasty stuff I don't think I can do it.

thanks will start my diet.

I got approved in one day. My doctor is Terry Simpson he doesn't want me to do any diet. But my question is , is it better to do one so surgery is easier .I weigh 235.
