I am 11 days out and under two of my scars I have these very hard oval masses. They feel like a pulled muscle when I'm sitting down. Has anyone experienced this? Everything else has gone like clockwork.

My surgeon won't even do lap bands anymore due to high failure rates. I am almost two weeks out and have followed my NUT instructions to a T. I have only had minimal early dumping twice, both times when I ate my yogurt too fast. Good luck

I'm 8 days out and have been so constipated! I've been taking a chewable probiotic since day 2 and colace for 5 days. Dr. Recommended an enima which helped get out a few hard pebbles, and have only gone one other time of the same. I'm feeling so bloated and have only lost 4 lbs

I have had a terrible time falling asleep. I slept sitting up for the first 5 nights. I was comfortable, but could fall asleep without pain meds. Past 3 nights I've had 5mg of melatonin. I found one that melts under my tongue, and I fall asleep in 5 minutes! I'm 8 days out from surgery.

My bypass is scheduled for Aug 15th and my pre-op is Aug 11th. I am so excited!! I'm 53 and decided to do this about a year ago. Once I found the right surgeon who was covered by BCBS, I've spent the past 4 months fulfilling the nutrition and psychological requirements. Hard to get the appointments scheduled!

For the past 6 weeks I've been weaning off carbonation, diet soda, coffee, ice tea, wine, vodka, sugar and white carbs. I'm now on my required two week pre-op diet of 60-80 g of Protein and less than 20g of sugar and less than 60 g carbs. So far so good.

I finally feel like I'm ready to start life again! I can't wait to do all of the things I've been avoiding for the past 20 year!
