  4. Call your surgeons office to find out what type of band you have. Your surgeon may have been really busy..I dunno but I understand what you are saying...Have you walked much? Even if you are groggy try it...and I am relieved to hear your incisions are done almost perfectly...take care and I think when we come out of surgeries we have emotional crashes but you have to make up your mind that your surgery was worth it. Remember it may start out for the worse but it gets better. You will be skinny soon!:biggrin:
  5. If you dont mind me asking...who was your surgeon and bariatric nurse and did they give you 24 access to them? I would call, call, call. Dizzy is not good, even though it may be the meds, and try to walk with that gas...at least that is what everyone with success is saying. Oh and the blood concerns me. Keep us posted and stay as positive as you can but call for help!
  6. July 2nd is my day..time tba. Support group meeting is 6/25 and Mandatory Education class is 6/29!
  7. Hilarious but proof that God (in my opinion) works in mysterious ways. I am so glad things worked out in your favor!!!Happy New You:lol:
  8. I havent been banded yet and I know every bariatric surgeon is different but I have a plan post op days 1-40 to follow if you would like the info let me know and I will post it. Also I do not think aspirin is good...its an NSAID maybe tylenol but you may want to call your surgeon or nurse. Hope your recovery goes well..you are on your way! Iris
  9. Feel better and get lots of rest!
  10. Thank you. All of the info you provided was quite helpful.. Take care and enjoy!
  11. I think you have answered your intuition. You left and for the right reasons. I pray that healing resonates in you, the children and your estranged husbands life. Stay focused.
  12. Process of elimination...the surgeon and colleagues do not prefer Realize C so that says a mouthful. Good luck on your banding!
  13. Yes you were approved so now you can update all of your dates!!! :tongue: God Bless!! and congratulations
  14. lmnlisa, gonnaloseit, ahb08, and cherri I truly hope everything went well and was divinely in order! GodBless Iris

  17. How did everything go..
  18. Were you discharged the following day, etc? Please share more...my date is July 2nd...and I am happy everything worked out well for you. Iris
  19. Everyone heals differently...just take it slow and stay focused on recovering well. Take good care and good luck!
  20. This post has inspired me even more and I am so glad that I opened it up. It is opposite of what most people probably would think (definitely positive and motivating)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbup:
  21. Awww thanks...thats a real tear jerker. All the best
