Help, I am a dope! I finally had a chance to meet my surgeon today, and I got my surgery date of 4/28 and there were questions I forgot to ask her.
How much pain will I be in after? It was bad but not bad enough that I wouldn't do it again in a heart beat! Does someone need to take care of me afterwards? since I live alone!!! I had my mother and husband to help with making sure I had my Water, meds, heating pad, ect. Will I be able to move at all on day 2 after I am released from hospital... I could move around but wanting to is another story. Will I have diarreha? after surgery? I didn't but I lost 15lbs in the first week mostly water weight. Will I loose more weight, since she decided to use the smallest band? She said it was due to me being small.. 4'11/ 232 lbs. BMI 47. No its all up to sticking to the rules. Try your best not to cheat. I'm 5'7 started at 282 and now I'm 224 and haven't even hit my year mark yet!
I chose the date of 4/28 so that i can enjoy my favorite foods one last time I did the same thing and enjoy cause life as far as eating will NEVER be the same. but its worth it and learn more from you other banders...Ask lots of questions it will make you feel better sure I am scared too..I would say something may be wrong if you weren't scared a little But this is my 3rd major surgery, so I am an old hand at this.. LOL! Read lots on P-ing that is the worse part I think! Good Luck!
