Today I had my lapband surgery!!! I feel good, a little tender. While in surgery, my surgeon found that I had a hiatal hernia so that was repaird as well. My experience has been good. Right after surgery I was extremely nauseous and was given something at least 4 to 5 times to help. I was also allowed to continue to sleep to help me with it. My surgery was at 8:00 AM and I was out of the hospital by 3:45. I am so fortunate to be able to begin my "new life" today. I began in the beginning of July when my sister and I went to a seminar. She is still going through the process. At times it seemed like the day would never come, now that it has come I can't believe it and wish everyone good luck.

Congratulations..........Good for you.

I had my surgery yesterday and I haven't had any nausea, I guess I'm lucky. I did guzzle some Water too fast last night......the pain right below my breast bone will teach you not to do that.

Good luck to us.

      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!!
