Got my lap-band on the 14th

[Lunita 0]

Hi This is my first post.

I also got banded on the 14th.

I was so happy to find this forum last night. I can't believe how many people feel the same as I do.

As far as the surgery everything was fine, the surgeon found a hernia and removed it at the time of surgery. I am still sore, especially in the morning when I get up. My lungs still hurt, although I am doing my breathing exercises.

I feel just like someone mentioned above where I feel like i need to burp, but it won't come out. Then I will hiccup and it sort of hurts.

I have been on clears for the first 2 days and now I am on full liquids, but I don't have much of an appetite. I must be in ketosis, because I have that nasty metallic taste in my mouth constantly.

Today I took my bp med (I have been out of it and forgot to take it in the last few days) and ohhh boy, next thing you know I was lightheaded, felt faint and had cold sweats. The Med. assistant said my bp must have gotten low.

But other than that, I have gone thru the doubts, of did i do the right thing? etc.

I am still worried/scared, but it's nice to see others are going through the same thing as I am.

Hopefully this will give me some strength.
