Well fellow 6/19/09 bandsters and other 6/2009 bandsters....
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:

Well fellow 6/19/09 bandsters and other 6/2009 bandsters....
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!

Well fellow 6/19/09 bandsters and other 6/2009 bandsters....
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

I've been away because...
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.
-
Now that I have a surgery date, still one more decision...
Process of elimination...the surgeon and colleagues do not prefer Realize C so that says a mouthful. Good luck on your banding!
