I am 9 days post-op and I also and still sore mainly at the port site. My other incisions are fine though. It probably just has to do with how you body heals. As long as the incisions aren't weeping or smell bad you are probably ok. :w00t:

Okay, I'm home. I got home earlier this afternoon. I feel ok. The pain is manageble but does hurt sometimes. I have not felt hungery at all yet. All in all the whole process at the hospital was pretty good. No complaints. :biggrin:

What causes getting stuck? Can you prevent it? It sounds unpleasant.

I'm getting banded tomorrow and I've seen those two terms on here. Just wondering what they are.

Thanks everyone. I think my boyfriend is more nervous than I am. He's being really weird this evening. Eh, I dunno.

Okay so tomorrow is my surgery. Today I am on full liquids and I had to drink a 10oz bottle of Magnesium Citrate. Only the label it said "Pleasing Lemony Flavor". There is nothing pleasing about the way that stuff tastes. YUCK! lol But I got it down. It took me an hour but I did it. I'm getting excited. I just want to hurry up and get the surgery part over with so these butterflies will go away. lol

summer - congrats on your surgery tomorrow. you have to post a message as soon as you can and let us know how it went. I'm hopeing that when I wake up tomorrow I have a calmness within me. lol I'm a worrier by nature.

MrsWilson, Thank you very much. It's so nice to have the website to go to when you need people who are going through the say thing as yourself. Good luck with everything.

I'm getting banded on August 18th. I didn't have any kind of pre-op diet. Just a liquid diet the day before the surgery.

Wow...my surgery is now only two days away. I was not nervous at all until about 10 minutes ago. I am looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life. This is probably the scariest thing that I've ever done. Change is always scary and this is going to be one big change.

Yep it's supposed to be on the 18th. The day surgery place was supposed to call me today between 12:30 and 1:00 and they didn't. I called them at about 3 and they told me that the girls were still making phone calls. It's freaking me out a bit that they didn't call when they said that they were going to. Now I have to wait til monday to see if I get a call then. If I don't get a call by noon I am going to call again.

123crod, Let me know how your first fill went today. :w00t:

When ever I go in to the doctors office I always try to talk with someone who is there for a fill. Everyone I've talked to is extremely happy with Dr. Gomez. No one has ever said anything to me about pain when they get a fill. They always say it's no big deal.

I am planning to lose at least 100 pounds. I don't have any small children. The youngest is 11 and he's a big help. When we go to the grocery he always tries to carry the heavier bags for me because that's what his dad does. I think it's so cute.
