First Consultation Tomorrow!!
DesertRose80 replied to stephieos's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would say just sit and listen. Be open minded and take a note pad to write down any q's and/or thoughts. You should be able to meet with the Dr one on one after the class. That's when the note pad will come in handy. -

How Much Did You Lose On Pre Op?
DesertRose80 replied to kittylove32's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only lost 5 lbs but I only had to do a 24 hr liquid...I bumped it up to 72 hrs....just to be 100% sure. -
Need To Know For My Comfort....
DesertRose80 replied to SanslastChance's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Each State has a medical board/license web site. I looked up my surgeon to see if he had any malpractice or reprimands. He was clean as a whistle! I let him know I looked him up and thanked him for being so good that it showed on paper. You'll also be able to see where he went to med school. Where he did his fellowship and when he received his license. -

Any One Else Have A 'relaxed' Surgeon....

I had mine yesterday too. I feel a slight restriction. I too have another apt next month. That would be funny if we went to the same Dr
-
Well, here's how I see it. If you bought something from a store and it had a defect, wouldn't you be able to return or exchange it with no extra costs??? How is this any different?

DesertRose80 replied to Isaacsmomma's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doctor was the same with pre and post. I did get a fill yesterday and am only just over 3 weeks post op. He put in 3cc's. I'm not worried because a friend of mine had the sleeve done and that is much more invasive. She was on the same diet pre and post. The only difference was that she had to stay the night in the hospital. I wouldn't worry. But I would try to talk to him about getting a fill sooner. That is WAY too long! -
...and if it helps, Sex after a fill is AMAZING!

First Post-Op Thread

This was exactly me. I'm 3 weeks post op and got the hiccups yesterday and still had the shoulder pain. It's not as bad as it was at first, but it still hurts.

Harder Than I Thought
DesertRose80 replied to MumtoJackson's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yup! That's how I felt. I thought I was never going to come out of it, but by day 6 I turned a corner and felt so much better. Rest, walk, sip your fluids, take your meds, and repeat. -
One Shot...last Chance!
DesertRose80 replied to jaye282's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
We're here for you! Keep us updated. I sat on the side lines for a long time... (On this forum). I was required to do a 6 month nutrition plan...working with a nutritionist. I was banded just over 3 weeks ago. Thought this day would never come, but I'm so glad I took the first step. Please know that it's TOTALLY worth it! -
Good Luck! And Please keep us posted. It's exciting for all of us because we were all in the place you are now. And if we had to do it again, we'd still make this decision.

That a girl!

Bye Bye Band - I Honestly Will Miss You!!!
DesertRose80 replied to bodyfixer's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm in mourning for you! I was banded just a few weeks ago and I can't imagine having to say goodbye to it. I'm glad your Dr is so wonderful to you and helping you. What sent up the white flag? Why did your Dr decide to do an endoscopy? -
Egg drop soup is wonderful! And yes, go for anything steamed. Good Luck!
