Congratulations. Your new life begins now:)

I was banded Wed and your post was very familiar. Hope you start feeling better real soon!

Yes it is isnt it!!! Lol

I called today not wanting to wait until monday with my concern. They called me back in less than 5 min and said dont hesitate to call again today or tomorrow if i needed them. And thankful for the help on this site. Today is day 3 so maybe thats why but still very glad

So day 3 post op and now diarrhea. Only allowed water tea or crystal light until monday. Then protein shakes. I cant leave the house I havent seen any posts re this. And my paperwork says nothing. Trying to stay positive. Im a worrier. Please tell me someone else had this too.

Congratulations. Very exciting!!!!

My groin muscles in both legs are sore. Like when you way over due a workout without stretching. Anybody notice that ? 2 days post op

I dont know for sure. I know that sounds absurd but i have 7 bandages bc of hernia repairs but guessing to the left of belly button. An extra bandaid there. Will find out Monday at post op. umm you think i would have asked! Lol

Dont make laugh. It hurts to do that right now! Lol

Congratulations!! And we are in this together. I was banded yesterday too. Had 2 hernias repaired at the same time. My poor husband is sick of hearing me complain. This too shall pass and we'll be on our way!!

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing. So encouraging too. ???Ž

Water tea crystal light. Thats it. And 3 oz per hr 1 oz every 20 min. Then next week. Protein shakes only for 2 more weeks. I hope i can do this! No i will but man.

And you are not alone! Come here to "talk" and i also joined a support group through my drs office. Im counting on that when others dont understand what im going through.

Me too! Gas was a little worse tioday but bearable. Are you excited? I am!

Those comments to us in our earlier years when we cant process them like now can lead to a lifetime of self esteem issues etc. sad. But we are moving up above that now!!!

Sounds crazy but im not sure and no one told me. Had hiatal hernua and umbilical hernuas fixed too. 7 bandages. I assuming left bc an extra bandage there but not sure. Guess i should have asked. Im sore all over my belly! Its all good though! Lol

I think you are right about the mental addiction to foods. And how we all feel the same at one time or another. Thats why this site has been so helpful to me. I got banded yesterday. Pretty sore bc i also had 2 hernia repairs. But overall its not as bad as i anticipated

That is wonderful. I bet it felt incredible. Great for you!!!!

When my so had his band 3 yrs ago they gave him a card with serial numbers ect for future needs or issues. I didnt get one when i got mine yesterday. Anyone know anything about this?

Im less than 24 hrs post op. no one suggested gas x strips at hosp or dr. But have read a few posts here about them.my gas is very uncomfortable

But so worth it we know. Banded today and feel hope about my life/diet plan for first time in years! You can do it and it doesnt last forever
