I couldn't figure out what was up!!!! Every time I peed I had this sharp burning pain through my crotch...I was baffled. As soon as that stupid drain was pulled pain was instantly gone! It was just rubbing on stuff. Make sure you take a dose of pain meds an hour or so before they pull that east out though!!!!

Oh my lord, I think the post is under the fab feb post-op thread....my surgeon got crazy and decided he would make my bowels wake up although I assured him if he left me the hell alone by the next morning I would be just dandy...he would have none of it! 2 suppositories and 2 enemas later with my behind on fire and me in tears he finally agreed to leave it be...and guess what?!?!? The next day things were fine and dandy....my butt will never be the same!!!! I was so mad...if he'd just listened.....

But then there are people who have no pre-op while others are dying on shakes or those who are on liquids a month post-op and others who are on essentially normal foods a few weeks out....focus on your journey and how great you are doing, being irritated at others is taking away from the joy you should be feeling for yourself!!!!

Lol, they do horrible horrible things to your gut!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 237

AGREED!!!! Besides the 2 1/2 years of misery, when I finally did prolapse and have removal I had so much inflammation and scar tissue that my surgeon couldn't do the conversion to RNY, he removed the band and sent me home for 6 months to heal....I'm 10 days post op from the RNY, finally...but it's taken 3 surgeries to get here!!! Every time I hear the 'its reversible' argument I cringe!!! I'm also aware of at least 2 cases where the band did so much damage the patients were told they could never have another bariatric surgery! In the long term I am REALLY lucky!

From a PA who had the band, was miserable for years with it, eventually had a prolapse and emergency removal and then had to wait 6 months to heal before I could get the RNY.....been there, done that, got the T-shirt!!!! The band works for some, that is true, but the number of patients I've had in the last 3 years who have had to have revisions or are just miserable with their band is running about 50/50....about 2/3 of the time I had my band it was almost empty. If my allergies acted up, I couldn't eat, 1 week every month, I couldn't eat. If I was stressed out, I couldn't eat....I did lose about 80 lbs and kept off 50 ish but it was HELL!!!!! Nothing is a magic cure, everything has risks and side effects, all the WLS are a tool that help you lose weight...but I just don't think the complications associated with the band are worth it! 3 years ago when I got my band my doc was doing several a week, in the last 3 months he has done 3... So happy you're on the road to a healthier you!!! So glad your health care providers were frank and told you what they felt was the best for you. My surgeon gives you the info then makes you decide, he will not way 'I think xxx is best for you'.
