  1. Happy 43rd Birthday Ms. M!

  2. I had surgery on Monday the 12th. I have not had anything bad happen, I'm just pretty tired, feeling a little hungry today. I hope they havn't been having trouble with fills but they have a few more to practice on before me. Keep me posted on your progress, we are just two days away from out banding date.
  3. I had surgery on Monday, came home on Tuesday afternoon. I'm worried about going back to work on Monday! I am concerned at some of the journals that I have read because I am feeling very light headed and dizzie when I get up. Some patients are already eating chicken breast, tuna, etc. I was instructed to stay on the clear liquid for 3-4 days and then gradually add liquids like Protein drink and cream Soup. I have a feeling that I am not getting enough nutritian in my diet which is causing this light headed feeling. I also have this heavyness under my breasts where I believe the band to be. Is that the feeling I will get when I am full? Everything I consume is Fluid so I don't see how I could get too full? Anyway, I hope your short time off will work out for you. I took a weeks vacation and also choose to not tell anyone at work that I was having this done. I guess I go to work Monday and hopefully I will be ready. Also, very tired and not doing a whole lot yet. Let me know if I'm having "normal" feelings at this point. Ms. M.
  4. There is certainly no worry about jumping into the lap band procedure without having enough time for research! I have been to 2 support group meetings, missed the one at Christmas and soon will go to my 3rd, which would mean 4 months. I have met with my primary care, and received a referral letter. Then to see the Psych Dr., Dietician, Surgeon, sleep doctor. Now I am scheduled for Sleep Clinic on February 6th. THEN WHAT? I was hoping to be on my way by now. Did the process take this long for everyone? Ms. M
