No weight loss weeks 5-9 post op
jenzds75 replied to Milindia's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I also had a revision from Band to DS. I'm 8 week PostOp & I went to my followup appt & only lost 30#. I'm all excited cause I don't know when I've ever lost 30# in a year- let alone 8 weeks! My Dr said that it was good cause it's giving my body to react to the weight loss. I am loosing inches. Just keep up the water & protein!! Let your body heal & do it's thing! [emoji7] -

jenzds75 replied to Aijan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My large incision site finally healed at 6 weeks. It kept having a small scab, then it would come off. Then scab over again. -

I have Cigna & they gave me 30 days to have procedure. My surgeon was booked up so it was right at the 30 days! -
Gas pain due to drinking liquids. 2 days post OP.
jenzds75 replied to kingnash95's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It could be the watermelon juice!!!! It happened to me as well right after surgery & then found out that watermelon causes that sneaky stomach bloat!! I didn't have issues before surgery with watermelon. But after. No Go!! [emoji51] -

Maybe you're ovulating?? -
Did anybody else's skin clear up?
jenzds75 replied to sylvia2017's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes!! Plus my nails are growing too!! -
I was banded several years & knew what me "full" feeling was (tightening in the chest). I know I'm 7 days PreOp of the revision to DS. So, my neighbor brought me some beef stew "juice". I had my 2 oz cup worth. But I feel kinda bloated. Guess I'm not familiar with new signs from my body.

Same thing happened to me. Ins said they had no record. However, I got a letter in the mail & Dr office called me with approval that next Monday.

I know that I had a pretty major surgery. I had a revision from Lapband to DS. I'm actually starting to feel "normal". But, I am still having the incision pains or feel like I have to hold myself when I walk. I guess I'm wondering if it's normal.

I'm an emotional wreck

My hubby went out of town a day after I came home from surgery! I came to this group a lot for support. And I played a lot of mindless bubble popping games lol -
What does it feel to be "full"
jenzds75 replied to jenzds75's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
After the 2oz of the beef stew "soup", I think it was just a lot of gas that I didn't expect! I have been on such a bland diet & then introduced something new with spices. Boy, I sure did some walking, sitting on balance ball, & GasX to try to get the uncomfortable feeling to go away! About an hour later I was relieved from the bloat/pain feelings. [emoji28] -
Behavioral evaluation?
jenzds75 replied to JealousMuch's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My behavioral evaluation was a packet of 600 questions asking if I'm "likely or less likely" to do things. Kinda like an aptitude for a job. [emoji58] -
I went to Dr today for my 1 wk PostOp appt. everything looks great! However, the itchy is from me having an allergic reaction to the dermabond!!! I got a steroid shot! I'm doing better now!! [emoji108][emoji28]

I'm 7 days PostOp and my belly is very itchy!!!! Is this normal?? I assumed the incision sites would be. But all over belly!! [emoji51]

I had my gallbladder removed several years ago after I had my Lapband In 2009.

Struggling with Pureed Food Diet
jenzds75 replied to Onetopmom's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Did you have any gas or bloating after the beans?? -
I only stayed one night. Because they wanted to make sure my pain was controlled. Everything. Went great! Now I'm home, how to get comfortable!?!?!

Anybody have a problem eating fruit?
jenzds75 replied to mattyl88's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Curious, I thought we couldn't have fruits with seeds until like 6 weeks after. (Strawberries, blueberries) -
How are you doing? Tmrw is day 5 for me. I can tell that I am able to move more. But still sore.
-
How was your surgery? What did you end up having? My surgery is schedule for tmrw morning.

I keep reading the different lengths of time the DS take during surgery. My surgery is schedule June 22. I'm trying to prepare my hubby
-
I have my EGD scheduled next week Thursday 15th. It seems like everything is coming together before my DS June 22. I was excited about getting it all set up, I forgot to ask how long the procedure for the EGD is for. What was your experience??
-
EGD Scheduled week before surgery.
jenzds75 replied to jenzds75's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Had my EGD done today! It sure was a breeze! It definitely takes longer to get prepped. Yes- I had an awesome nap too!! -
I asked my Dr today during my PreOp appt. He says with lapband removal it should be only 2 hours. If I still had my gallbladder too, it may be a little longer. Plus he only expects me to stay 1 night too. I know everyone is different. With different surgeons. [emoji3]

Insurance Revision Requirements
jenzds75 replied to AceBlaque's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Same here- my band was still functioning. It's just I haven't been losing weight. They wanted to make sure I complied with the follow ups with the band. I was approved the first time.
