    September 2023 Surgery buddies

    NettD my surgery had some Complications so I have a bit of a longer triad ahead than expected. During the camera insertion a vein was nicked. When they went in with the gas tube, my abdomen had blood. They had to open me up to find the blood. I ended up with my bariatric team as well as a trauma team working on me. One the nick was found it had already sealed and stopped bleeding. I got my sleeve but now I have a huge 12”+ to heal rather than my 5-6 holes I was expecting. I can’t complaint my doc was a rockstar and controlled my pain amazingly. Now I’m sick of bed rest and I’m fighting to get water in since I just wanna sleep and heal. How are you doing?

    This weekend is stock up and get ready weekend. I'm so glad protein shakes have improved since 2012 when I had my band put in. Pre-Op diet is a challenge. I miss my coffee.

    Lap Band Buddy Under 40

    I'm 37 and was banded on 2/20/2012. I hit my 50lb gone milestone today. It includes preop but I'll take it!!
  11. My doc considered the Unjury chicken soup a clear liquid. Was awesome to have something warm to drink on my pre op diet.
  12. I got Tylenol cough. The only active ingredient is acetaminophen.
