So you got banded 2 days ago? So when you say "sore", how sore? Sore where? Are you really taking liquid vicodin? Didnt know they had that. lol

oooh! I did get it mixed up. lol!

Hey Baby D! I was BANDED about 8 hours ago and right now, I am feeling like I can just throw up a river and the GAS pain is a "MUTHA". No pain in my stomach as of yet. I heard tomorrow will be a different story. Thanks for checking on a sista!

Peace and Love

YES! I am officially BANDED as of this morning! Feeling a bit nauseous and the GAS pain on my left side is HORRIBLE! Gas X strips isn't helping at all! No pain on or in stomach as of yet. I know the next day will be a different story. It's all good!

Hey! Finally found someone on this site who is still in the waiting process. Do youe have your date yet?

Yay me! I got my first PAINFUL fill! All of 6.5 cc's. So now i'm on liquids until tomorrow and then the pureed and so forth!

Hi Movie Star! Happy Belated Birthday! I love January 16! That's my first born sons birthday. He just turned 18!!!!! When are you getting banded?

I just got a call from the Dr.s Office. They just submitted everything to Anthem this morning. I will call them this Friday to see what's up.

Thanks for the pic comment!

Thanks. It's passed my ears now. That was this summer.

Thanks for the picture compliment. So how are you feeling? Also, once your surgeon submitted your forms to Anthem (which I work at Anthem ) Did you say Anthem called you in 3 days that you were approved or your doctor found out in 3 days after submitting that you were approved? I am getting soooo antsy! They are still waiting for my psych eval to come back first. UGH!

Hi Miss Coco-Mo. My surgery is not this Tuesday but the following Tuesday Feb 16th, day after presidents day. I hope yours goes well also.

Glad your feeling better. I am still sore around my belly button where my port is placed and JUST found out that i am extra sore due to the doctor not informing me or my cousin who was at the hospital to pick me up that I had a hernia repair. I found that out by looking at my claims....since I work at Anthem I am able to see the claims first hand. Anyway, I am on regular foods. I only was instructed to do liquid for 24 hours after surgery, then a week on soft foods, then back to normal foods. I can't wait to get my 1st fill next Wednesday as I can eat a pig right now, lol! I mean I have no restrictions and I stay hungry since my band is empty and the swelling is apparently gone down.

Me too! Well, I'm waiting to be approved and get my surgery date. I'm so antsy right now! How long have you been waiting?

Well, your prayers must have worked. At or about 9p last night, i can report just a feeling of soreness. It feels like Billy Blanks and I had a date with a super ab workout! Other than that, no gas-no pain! Thanks again for checkin on me!

Wassup Diva~ How ya feeling? Im still a little sore around my port area and I need my fill immediately! Girl I am hungry and can eat like no tomorrow! I also just found out by looking at my own claims....since I work at Anthem that I also had a hernia repair.....Ummmmmm........nobody told me or my family nothing about that, which explains why I am still so tender around my belly button. Humph! anyway, what foods are you eating now?

Good Morning! I am almost 24 hours post surgery! YES! I was banded yesterday morning Feb 16, 2010 at 9a! Yesterday I was super GASSY through my left neck and shoulder-chest area and that was unbearable, plus a little nauseous. At or around 9p last night, pain disappeared. Now I only feel like I had a date with Billy Blanks and his workout Ab team. So yes, my stomche muscles feel like I have done 1,000 sit ups!

I'm feeling great other than that stupid port area. Causing a Diva to Rock stretchy pants and leggins. Tried to rock my jeans but ummmmm, it was rubbin across that belly button, and BABYDIVA, I was about to walk around in panties at work, so I did lunch (Shopping) at Walmart to buy a pair of leggings to get me through the rest of the day. Humph! So since you're staying over night, you will be out of commission from Lapbandtalk.com for a few days huh?

Whoo-Hoo! Raise the roof! Girl, I can't wait til I hear back. So, do you have to do the 2 week liquid diet or 3 day?

Work it! Work it! Wooo hoo hoo! I am feeling great! I done made some jello this morning to have at lunch, took my doggie to the mailbox and back and now surfing the web. I did gulp my applesauce too fast and had a knot feeling between my boobs and the top of my stomach. Lesson taught! I have to slow it down while eating.....even applesauce!

Hey! How are you? Where is Ethicon, that sounds familiar?

Hey Stranger! Girl im just seeing your message from DECEMBER!! My bad! everything is good. Finally a year later i am just feeling restriction and i am 168lbs. How you been?

Thanks so much for passin through and hollerin at a sista! Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the kind words, encouragement and details. I actually DONT have any support at home, my mother lives about 35 min from me and of course, She's supportive via phone . I do have friends and coworkers that also support me so, I'm still blessed. Tomorrow is my appt for my yucky "Medifast" diet and 2 hours with the nutritionist. How much pain would you say you were in the first day?

Girl, you wasnt saying anything I already said after my surgery. My incision through my belly button hurt to the 50th power, plus I had my tubes tied which probably caused it to be more tender, i was swollen, hurt to walk, hurt to get on and off the toilet, god forbid wearing pants...even elastic pants hurt my belly button. So, it took about 3 months for me to feel zero pain! You'll get there! You are hilarious! I love how you pretended like you didnt want grapes because you were dieting. lmao!
