I am new to this site need some buddies to go through this with ! Surgery set for may 2nd anyone else scheduled in may???

I'm a big baby when it comes to pain, LOL! As usual though I let my anxiety and emotions run my thoughts.

I just keep telling myself it cant be too much worse than a c-section and I made it through that just fine. So hopefully it won't be as excruciating as it sounds.

The only difference is that during a c-section they don't fill you with gas. You will have gas pains they should go away in a few days.

KeMullins,

refresh me how you put your ticker on there, I went to edit mine, they asked me for my pin# and I forgot what it was

In 12 hours I'll be prepping for surgery..cannot wait for that Xana I feel like I need it now!

They said no food or drink after midnight, I think I'll start that at 8. Ughh so stinkin' nervous my stomach is in knots!

Can't wait til its over so I can hit the gym!

Good luck to the rest of the 5/11's

Lilbelly:

I'd do a new ticker then copy the code they give you and paste it to your signature.

@bbanded good luck!

The worst part for me was the anastsia mad me nausea so when I woke up I was dry heaving cause there was nothing to puke up so that hurt... I am still a lil groggy and not really hungry so I have been just doing water.. Well I hope all my other may Banders are doing good n healing well and good luck to all the up coming ones post more when I feel better later

Congrats to you and your success!

Really hope I did not scare anyone off. What may be extreme pain for me may not be that bad to someone else. I am 2 days post op... Very gassy and the port/cincisions are painful but it gets a bit easier every day. I found Pain was the worst right after coming out of the OR and when i try to move too quickly. Today has been more bearable. Wishing all the recent bandsters the best w/ everything. We have to keep our eye on the prize when it gets rough!

Please let us know how everything is going.

Praying for all who are being banded in the morning! Good luck, and please check in. Make sure you take it easy. I'm excited for you all and anxious to be banded with u all. I have 8 more days/ may 18.

I am 3 days post op and I'm hungry, but every time I drink broth, eat popsicles, or even water my stomach hurts. I don't understand this. Anyone have same problems? Suggestions?

Water and broth have been good to me! Popsicles and jello not so much! Feel sick maybe cuz it's sweet even though its sugar free!! I have nausea pills I take every 6 he's helps a bit but very yucky feeling! Drink a lot of water seems to be my friend!!!

Are you drinking too quickly or getting too much air when you sip? I know it sucks... Hang in there. Everything makes me crampy and gassy today. Haha

Today i learned if you need help going #2, hot tea does the trick.

Has anyone noticed you get full in your chest now? I can feel my water and juice sitting in my chest for a while. Not sure if this changes
