Today's The Day!! Getting Banded!



Recommended Posts

Today is the day I start my new journey on a new life. I would like to ask for those who believe to pray for me while I go in today for surgery. This is my first surgery in my life, never spent the night in a hospital. I'm a nervous wreck.

Hey everyone! Just an update I just got home from the hospital. Quick overview

Arrived at 8:30am went to Second floor which was day surgery.

@10:00 they came and it was time to be banded.

@2:00 I woke up in Recovery in extremely bad pain. It was the pressure build up in the stomach area. Nurse gave me a couple of does of something. Pain went away.

I stayed awake basically the rest of the day in the hospital bed watching tv and talking to my visitors. The access port cut and the pressure are the only two things that hurt. Couldn't sleep all night which sucked. They gave me chicken broth,jello,juice for dinner and Breakfast which I barley touched.

Hey RyanZ, sounds like you are doing great. I was banded on August 13th and stayed overnight in the hospital. I felt great while I was in the hospital and couldnt believe how good I felt, but...........the next 2 days were terrible!!! I wasn't expecting it. I am feeling much better today think goodness. It was mostly from the gas I think. I am still really sore and tired but feel soooooo much better today. Good luck!!! nancy

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
