I went back to work today :) Felt really good this morning til about 11. Then I started feeling tired and uncomfortable in my abdomen area. Tired to lay down during my lunch hour but after about 15 mins I was up due to feeling nauseated. Went to the bathroom but nothing came up. Thank goodness. The rest of the day was really long. Felt as if I had tons of gas in my stomach and surrounding areas. I think maybe it's from sitting upright all day. Thought I had gotten rid of most of the gas already. When I got off work went to get my son from school and by the time I got there I was feeling sick again. Went to the bathroom felt like I was gonna throw up but never did. Nausea ceased and we made it home. Went to sit in my recliner and lay back some and by about 30 seconds my son had to help me up. Felt nauseated again. Went back to the bathroom only to dry heave a time or two...still feel like crap 30 mins later and only sitting not reclining back. Hubby is on his way home with some gas x strips. Ran out Saturday nut didn't think I would need more....guess I was wrong. Hope this helps me feel better. I would have to say today has been the worst for me. Today makes day 6.

mom of 3 :)

Had my first day home. Was banded on the 27'th. Just got home from the hosp. Yesterday evening. I'm having esophageal spasms they're not that bad, they pass quickly. I can have full liquids now. Still having chest pain due to the gas, but even that has mostly subsided. So I went and ran errands today. Went & paid some bills, went to my work (dr.s office) just so they could see that I was okay. And went to the bank. Busy day! Good luck to every1 who has just had, or about to have their lapband world opened up for them.

I also felt a lot better today, than I did yesterday.

I went shopping, ran errands, and went to the bank.

On the shopping front, I am apparently losing all of my weight from my chest. Come on hips, please get smaller!

I have a lump on my left side the size of my palm. I have to go into the Dr. Today and let him check it out. I am also having to take my pain meds every 4 hours instead of six. I hope it's nothing to worry about. I will update more later.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
