I feel your pain I was in your boat a few days ago.. Just give it time, I promise you it will get better!

Thought I would check back I didnt end calling the doctor , I am paramedic and honestly I think my inicisions are fine, they look good and they arent warm or red, so maybe I was getting a cold or something.. Feeling so much better today, I actually went to the gym and walked for 45 mins then did some packing and moving boxes, Had no pain what so ever so i think i will be good to go back to work Monday. Well thanks guys for all the support, Hope everyone is doing good, I cant believe how fast this month went!

Just wanted to stop in and say hi... I am 6 days out... I am still very tired and sore :Banane20:. I dont know how i thought i could go back already to work, I am so sore and still taking pain meds. I am running a fever too now :Banane20: so i think i will call the docs today before they leave today..

Hiya guys... Its been a few days... I was banded around 8am or so on Friday..Got to the hospital at 5:30am and Remember heading to surgery at 7:30am.. I remember being in my room around Noon, Dr Urbandt was awesome, so friendly and calming too.. He told my Mom and Dad that surgery took longer due to the fact I had really strong ABS that took longer to get into. I was in a great amount of pain, I honestly didnt think it would be this painfully, I was up and moving around 2pm friday, I wasnt allowed to drink until Saturday AM, until had a gastric View Test. They were going to keep me another night due to the amount of pain I was in and not being able to keep anything done, But I really wanted to go home so They let me go at 5pm yesterday, I stayed at my Folks Hotel, and now I am now at my own home and bed :smile: Still is a good amount of pain :laugh: Just trying to walk and sip, walk and sip...

My Surgery is at 7:30am Tomorrow, First Patient of the day Sucks that i have to be there at 5:30am though..

My surgery is tomorrow at 7:30 AM, Super excited and nervous. Was supposed to be on clears today but I had little slip up at lunch But back on the wagon and Trying to Drink my slip up away hehehe!

Yeah but when they go into the real world it will be working hard and limited time thats all i was saying..

I am having surgery This friday and am Taking 10 days off.. I work in a hospital and am on my feet alot, I am sure i could go back before that but we have the staff and i have tons of vacation time so i am going to take it easy. I am not one for sitting around, Plus I will be going back after 2 days of Mushies so I think i will be ready to go back.. Sitting around the house will make me think of all the food i am missing heheh

yeppers i am getting the realize band as well..

Can you give me some idea of what you have been eating :scared2:

How cool :wub: I get surgery on Friday :tongue2: Julie is awesome I just talked to her today.. she is great!

Them dang string cheeses hehhe! I dont think my doc has a support group, but i will check into it...

Yeah I agree its a tool.. But what if the tool doesnt work at making you feel Full? Some people say they never feel full :wink2:

did you have another sleep study? or do you just feel that you are sleeping better?

I am really having second thoughts today... I really hope the lapband works for me.. I read so much that its works for some and doesnt work for others. I want to lose weight and I personally like the idea that the band I have to work a little more at it then the Bypass where the weight just kinda falls off you..

Mine was beach pictures..

I am single so i dont really care how i look in.. But I have never really slept with it on :wink2:

What were you eating? At least it passed in a minute or so...

Thanks Stevie! I will see what my doc has to say friday when I have my surgery... I cant believe today is already the 13th.. this month is Flying!

I agree with everyone, I was kinda bored this week... I thought i was a good idea, but I personally dont think they really worked that hard..

Sorry to hear about you extra day in the hospital, At least things seem to be doing better... Hope you start feeling yourself really soon :frown: Question for the banded people: are you guys allowed to take your regular meds? IE. blood pressure meds and such

Howdy everyone I am still hanging in there 10 "sleeps" until my surgery.. I am having my last meal thursday heheh, going to red robin and then I am going to try to keep food intake undercontrol.

check your pm messages drewser...

normally you just have to click on someone ticker and it will take you to the site to get one

I gained 10lbs since my last visit, But I have been eating and exercising the same, I think its the steriods i am taking for a bad sinus infection.. Anyhoo I had my last appt thursday before my surgery March 19 and he was upset with me cause he said that any extra weight would cause my liver to be bigger and for them not to be able to see what they are doing for the surgery.. So i am under strick orders to get rid of this extra lbs by my surgery.. So main concern would be engored liver..
