Marybell

i was banded thrusday i wore a maxi dress and some boyshorts for unnies. best idea ever even if it was 50degrees when i went home.

me too sassy. ive been burping like crazy. i got the gas x chewables but im not noticing much difference , but when i walk i burp alot. i force myself to burp.

Im up and moving for a few, ive been relaxing in the recliner since about 6. so 4hours maybe- when i woke up i was throwing up so they gave me medicine which knocked me out and when i came to i was throwing up more. so i had to stay longer then expected. surgery was done at 11. but wasnt discharged until 430. the nurses stuck me 7x to get a iv line. finally the charge nurse had to do it. when i woke up i was so sore and uncomfortable. but around 2 that wore off and i wanted to pee and walk. so i did. its nice to be home in my own chair though. my arms feel heavy and my left side of my stomach is sore. doctor said my liver looked great. i did have an umbilical hernia but that is all no heital hernias. thanks for all ur support dear

surgery in the morning!!!! im so excited i doubt ill sleep lol

going in the morning for surgery, im ready to be done with. all this waiting and pure clear liquids is a huge pia! broth is going right thru me! anyone else for the 7th?

i ride my bike when i can maybe 2 or 3x a week id like to do more. i got it at walmart on blackfriday a beach cruiser for 69 dollars , it holds up to 360lbs. so i got it ! i hope u do well tomorrow hun

December 7th. 5 days . wow. im so excited. im ni south east georgia having my surgery in Jacksonville florida.

i drink gnc's protien shakes for women. love them! but must be cold.

thanks destynee1, im gonna try some claritan and see if it helps. i dont want to be coughing after surgery making my stomach hurt more ya know?

congrats. im 27 w 2 kids and i worry about the same things. Someone once said they did the surgery and yeah they felt better but was still the jolly fat kid inside they couldnt change there frame of mind that they were half the person they were since surgery. I hope i dont have that problem. i go on the 7th im doing liquids right now. this sh*t is for the birds. i want real food lol. not being able to eat something hard or crunchy is messin with my head a bit lol

how do i make one of those lil tracker thingies

ive had this cough and stuffy nose since thanksgiving. So a week now. Ive been taking dayquil and night quil to keep it at bay. and some days are better then most. I drink a gallon of water a day and take a multivitiman, ( but working in the public u get sick anyways ) . My question is, should i try and get a nose of antibodics to kick this in the butt? I have surgery in 6 days. My other concern is if i get the antibodics wont they give me some via iv in the hospital? I do not want itchy-coochie-syndrome.

mine is in one week. so excited.

im 27 years old and i have surgery next week. i never knew finding someone to go with me and someone to watch my kids would be so difficult. ( 2 girls ages 3 and 7months ) im not nervous for the surgery, ive had many for other reasons. im more concerned about the after. the managing of my 7month old. or going back to work as a assistant manager of a fastfood chain. im 5'1 and my bed stands at 4'8 i worry about getting in and out of bed, will i miss a step or get in wrong. and then i worry most of all who will stay with me during the day until i can pick up my 19lb baby girl who is teething and ive always done baby wearing and i wont be able to. meh. i look forward to sharing my progress, and hopefully these nerves go down. walking 5miles is nothing to me now. riding a bike is easy. the liquids have been a peice of cake '( no pun intended )' i dont miss pizza or pasta or bread. ive done fine without it.

Was called today from my hubby at work to be told i was approved by the insurance. Surgery is on december 7th. 10 days. i go to my pre op appt tomorrow morning. and i am so excited. just wanted to share. i love this site.

i think ill be okay covering up in public but i dont think it will make me feel very desirable in the bedroom :\ still a newlywed

i am 318lbs and 5'1. the doctor says ill lose quite a bit at first. im so scared. i see the posts of ppl who are as big as me if not larger and are now down in size in 6 to 8 months. 80 to 100lbs! im so excited but ive got butterflies. ive been working out and drinking protien shakes and matabilism boosters to help with the lack of carbs im eating ( no energy neeeeeed energy with 2 small children ) im in a size 26. but ive hear horror stories. someone said they wore the same size pants/underwear as they did while they were big even tho they lost so much weight. but the skin kept them from wearing size smaller pants size. this worries me. the skin. how bad is the skin really you guys? c'mon honestly?

sent!

dont see you either. find me Mary Squires (Norris)

in my personal experience ive never had blinding galbladder attack. ive had nasty bile burps before but they pass with antacids or pepperments. but i know 5 ppl personally who have/had lapband. each one had there galbladder removed after having lapband. Is this common? if so why dont they just take out the galbladder during surgery?? also. i have a 6 months old. i realize i cant lift her...but can i hold her ? she is active and like to play on my stomach alot and play with my face or hands. with the port would this be a no no?im so concerned cuz she is a mommas girl since i just recently went back to work. also... the nutrient class, is this one time only? i go tuesday for nutrient and the physco apt. this process is going very quickly must faster then i expected. thanks all who respond.
