Lash

Congratulations! Great news and very inspiring.....gives me hope. Keep up the good work.

Hello Kat. Congratulations on your surgery. I know its not an easy decision to make. I was banded on 9/23 and did not recover as fast as you. It was 5 days before I felt better, so you are doing fantastic. Try to drink as much Water as possible to avoid Constipation. Good luck and stay optimistic, it will be worth it.

Went back to work Tuesday and had a good day. Minor pain around port incision, but other than that I feel good. Thinking about doing some gardening today, if it doesn't hurt to bend. Trying to drink more Water, feeling a little dehydrated. Hope you ladies are well and thanks again for the feedback.

Hi there! I had surgery on 9/12. It took about 10 days for me to really feel normal. It is different for everyone and some go back to work a few days later but I had a lot of shoulder pain and thought I was going to pass out when I took a deep breath.
Today is day 15 after surgery and I feel FANTASTIC! Hang in there, it will get better!

Hi Lash, I am pre-band but do know that healing from any surgery takes the time it takes -- our bodies are all different. You posted early this morning and I'm hoping that day five is your big turnaround day. Take good care of yourself and be sure to work on your breathing, the walks around and sips of Water. That's the recipe I keep seeing here in posts from others. You are on your way! Thinking of you....

What a difference a day makes...literally! I was finally able to sleep comfortably last night for the first time since I had my surgery. I don't think I moved all night; from exhaustion or fear of pain, I'm not sure, but it was definitely nice to get some good, quality sleep! I woke up this morning with very little pain/soreness and so far *fingerscrossed* the gas pains haven't started up too bad yet this morning.
Today will be my first day home by myself since my surgery, as my hubby had to return to work today, and the kids will be in school. I have a tendency to want to clean like a mad woman when I'm here alone, but I know I still need to take it somewhat easy and NO LIFTING. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself all day, but I do know I'm definitely going for a walk at some point this afternoon/evening!
