  2. Don't mix liquids w your meals.
  3. Don't mix food with liquids.. Wait about an hour or so drink anything after you eat. If you fill your stomach, the drink, there isn't any room for it to funnel into your stomach, hence comes back up

  16. Hi Jourdyn- I am officially on the other side! Glad that part is over...actually wasn't too bad. Now the fun begins. I have the pain in my left shoulder, trying the walking and gas x strips, but nothing yet. My stomach feels like I got into a fight and got a few sucker punches to my gut- and I lost. LOL Got about 4 hour sleep, anesthesia wires me vs there are those who are knocked out! Keep u posted
  17. Here we go...... See everyone on the banded side.....
  18. Hi Danielle. I go this Friday, so I will let you know if I wake up with my apnea gear on or not.. What hospital in NY?
  19. Hi All... This is my 1st posting of this journey.. One week from Friday (5.24.13) is my day... Been reading a lot on this site, I love it! All the questions and answers, seem to set my mind somewhat at ease. I've spoken with a few folks on turnaround time back to work---I have my procedure on Friday and back to work on Tuesday... Hopefully, I will be ok since previous surgeries were quick turnaround time for me.. Nothing strenuous at desk on phones all day-- fingers crossed... Any recommendations? Any other surgeries that day?
