  1. Hey Dana,
    Try to relax. Everything will go just fine. I am 4.5 weeks post op and doing awesome! I'm even out walking a mile a day. I too was nervous about the surgery, but it honestly goes so fast. I had to get a patch from the doctor to put behind my ear to stop me from reacting to the meds they put you to sleep with. This helped to calm be because I knew I wouldn't throw up after surgery. The best suggestion I have is to take someone with you that will be supportive and loving. Focus on the positives of surgery. In 4 weeks I was taken off my Metformin for insullin resistance and couldn't be happier. You will be just fine. Happy thoughts and Best of luck! :w00t:
     
     

  2. Fill issues and bruising?

    · Budrita · 04/30/10 06:12 AM

    Hey,
    Not sure on the bruising, but my doctor won't do fills for the first 6 weeks as he said it takes that long for the body to heal. I would talk to your doctor about doing a smaller dose for your next fill. Try not to worry it causes you to release chemicals that actually makes you gain weight. Happy thoughts your way. I'm sure the 2nd time around you'll be fine. Good luck! :smile:

  3. 1 mth post op

    It has been 4.5 weeks since my lapband surgery. I am in the end part of my week 2 of soft foods. I have lost a total of 25lbs since surgery. The last two days have been a struggle for me as I began to crave various foods. I have been driving 2 1/2 hours to my appts. and spending most of my day in the car and in the dr. offices. I'm exhausted. I gave in tonight and ate 1/4c of raviolis. They weren't that good and after I ate them I felt fine. So I began to stress if my lapband is even working. Any advice as to how to deal with days like today?:smile:
