I just had the Gastric Lap Band procedure done last week at Emory/Johns Creek Hospital in Johns Creek, GA. My doctor is Dr. Johnson with Atlanta Bariatrics, also in Johns Creek, Ga. So far the experience hasn't been too bad. I came back to work today, but will only do 1/2 days the rest of the week. I'm still sore. For some reason I have been running a fever of 100.5, mainly at night, but tylenol takes care of that. I have checked for infection around my incision and there does not seem to be one so I'm not exactly sure why I'm running fever. I do have to day though, I'm ready to start eating soft,moist meats and soft vegetables starting tomorrow. I purchased the Bariatric Advantage Protein shakes and they taste pretty good, especially the banana. I tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury but didn't like it at al.
Right now I'm just looking for advice, support and RECIPES!
