The surgery went great! I went at 630 am left 8-9am I went home to bed picked up pain Meds and nausea Meds on way home. I had ice packs Hp, gas x strips, protein drinks, soups ect. Prestocked. I had light pain on my left side( port side for me) so laid on right side with HP on left back area and ice pack as needed on front. I did take pain med every 4 hrs not the 6 hrs on btl. I wanted to stay on top of so too 1/2 doses not recommended! 3 day I was up and around feeling good. I had foot surgery on 30th.

Yes I had surgery on Dec. 22 I only took for one month and didn't have any side effects. The say take for 3 months but I had cut down to 6 cogs a day.

It goes faster than you think. Work on getting all your paper work together. Yay!

great info good job!!

Good out look. Regroup resubmit

I smoked. Quite 3 yrs bows. I started carrying a small case with cigs in it and every week cut down how many I had per day then I got chantex from Dr this helped cut the withdrawals.

Just started eating reg food I eat what ever I want protein being prioritie. I haven't had a fill yet ? I make sure I chew well and follow the 1/2. Cup per meal amt. To maintain pouch.

Yea NSV!!!!!

Yes at time I took gasx strips as I was told most likely gas pain. The pain stopped after gasx

Just a guess don't knw your ht. 240ish? Insurance is going to want 3 -5 yrs Dr notes with wt listed. I had to get 5 yrs.

Thanks for sharing!

Has anyone on here been banded over 5 yrs if so how are you doing? Any problems ?

Surgery Dec.22 I started wearing 1 week out but It still is uncomfortable at times so I wear looser bands.

My Dr said to only eat 1/4-1/2 most at a time to form and shape the pouch.

I had bcbs Dec. 22 surgery. I had my surgery at surgery center of woodlands with Dr Jason ballette. No hospital was required.

I haven't had many problems with website. Check with alex. This site is worth iy.

maybe but it was a diet not a life style change. Remember we loose slower with the band but we keep it off! Hang in there.

I also drink protein shakes. I haven't had any appetite since surgery and I have to keep track of food intake to make sure I eat enough each day. 69-80 grams protein a day

I'll be sooo glad to be released to exercise. Good for you!
