Miss Mo

Everything is just goin down soooooo easy ! Dr. Reilly got me an appt July 25 instead of aug 12 . Yayyyyy

So happy for you he is a great doctor

Furthermore - you're not very bright to try something a third time if you almost died twice before. Didn't your mommy tell you never to be a follower? Why on earth would you allow complete strangers to "talk you into" doing something you know is bad for you? There's a ton of guys in the third and fifth wards of Houston that would love to sell you some of their lovely pharmaceuticals if you're that easilly pursuaded. Gee whiz. Get a grip. I think you need another psych eval before you do ANYTHING else.

You tell them

Thanks for the info about the band not being filled at surgery

Miss Mo I'm getting nervous because I haven't had any bowel movement yet. But I have only been drinking propel and eating Jello. The day before my surgery I had to drink 2 bottles of laxatives & do 2 fleet enemas. I think I was literally cleaned out. I'll be calling my doctor tomorrow as well. I wonder if we get real bad diarrhea can we take immodium ad.

I got diareahh for day2 pos op then it went away feel find now but just have the pain in my left shoulder

I am doing good. 7 days until my fill woohooo! ! ! !

How did you feel when you first got banded. I trying to feel the difference but I just feel unable to drink anything I will call my doc on Monday to be checked

Hello every body 3 day post ops. Doing find just have lots of gas pain.

I was banded on the 11th too!! I literally hate drinking plain Water but you gotta drink. I switched from Water to propel which is much better for me. I haven't felt like having much else tho' date=' the gas pains are still are a lil irritating. I'm staying away from yogurt & milk cause it makes me gassy. I started an ensure clear today, seems a lil too sweet but it's okay.

Good luck and call your doc 1st thing Monday about your liquid intake.[/quote']

Thanks I will call the doctor and also have any one been having diareahh

Band date was July 11. I know how unfelt and how I feel now. Best of luck to u

Doing well on day 3 after surgery just having a lot of gas pain but other then that I doing find going back to work on Monday hopeful will be ok

Hi I had the band put in July 11 too but I'm in a lot of pain is it normal

Still in a little pain the most pain is the gas keep going and coming.

You're welcome. I had really bad left shoulder pain the whole time I was banded. I've watched friends suffer with it too. Doctors need to talk about this with banded patients.It's really common. I am sorry you are going through it and hope you feel better.

Thank. Everything else is gud just trying to keep a little Water down thanks for the support

That is not good. You have to drink at least Water just to keep from getting dehydrated. Please call your doctor's office and inform them. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks I will

So ur saying the pain in the left shoulder does not go away

Band date was July 11. I know how unfelt and how I feel now. Best of luck to u

thanks I know how you feel I haven't told my family yet

No choice I want to lose weight and maintain it it. Drink lotsa Water which I can hardly get in these days. A few months back I did the blue print cleanse and after day 3 I almost ate my arm lol.. This time is different I drink my shakes with fine water in Btwn n seem ok. I realize I'm not hungry but want to chew. I just see the light at the end if the tunnel maintaining the wait I worked hard to lose finally:) I'm more anxious and nervous about life after the band then missing food. Of course I had to decline several social invites but what can u do ill have time for that in August especially since I haven't told all my friends.

You can do this keep your eye on the prize. You will chew again and keep reading these threads or you tube success stories and imagine ur story a year from now

Surgery went well. Pain is very tolerable. Drinking Water well. The last pain med I had was around 2:30. So happy to have gotten it done. Looking forward to a healthy future and looking healthy as well

I'm very nervous
