I feel like a bag of assholes.

I had to spend an extra night in the hospital because of the nausea. I'm home now and still nauseous, can't keep down the pain meds and am apparently screaming in my sleep because it hurts to move.

Does anybody have any experience with this? How long can I expect this nausea to carry on?

You are doing great nothing wrong with being cautious write down all your questions that way you will all of them answered when you leave the unknowing is always scary but ask him how much he puts in as a 1st fill and you have to drink before you leave if it feels too uncomfortable for water you know it is too tight for food just listen to your body

from what he said, i have to do a liquid for a day or two after fill (like that is a problem now after we did the 2 wk pre and post op all liquids haha).

i only want a smidge of a fill at time (i have to get pre approval from my pcd and then they refer to my ins for approval to go to my lap band surgeon so it is a hassle if you will to go back and forth to any doctor i see....

LadyScorpio - I had my surgery 7/7/11 (almost a year). My first fill was at my 4 week check up. I have had between 5-7 adjustments (2 was a slight unfill) in that 1 year period. The plication helps but you will still need to have fill in the band. The stoma (the tiny stomach north of the band) is the part that sends the "full signal" to the brain. Good luck with everything.

Thank you for explaining that! I was wondering why I don't get any signals... That makes much more sense! I'm getting it, but it's definatley a learning process!

i have my 1 month post op appt tomorrow...maybe i will get a fill? i hope so. i feel like i have been able to eat more than i should lately.

how much as you eating? like per meal?

oz or do u count cal or fat??

i count calories. it's been creeping up more this last week (plus i was away on vacation). i'll keep you all posted after my appointment with the doc tomorrow!

My Dr. Didn't give me a fill. I'm not sure I need it, I find that the protein that I eat per day makes me feel so full. I feel stuffed! I was told to eat at least my 3 meals even if I'm not hungry. Also said to eat all protein first then eat veg if I'm not full.

Lady Scorpio- I had that same concern. I need to find out because if the plication is working well and I never get a fill but 6-12 months later I need one. Also I need to find out is there an amount you get per year thats included. I don't know why I didn't ask those questions before .

Hi everyone. Just an update. I just got my first fill!! Im 1 month post op and doc said I'm doing well. I'm back on soft foods until Friday. Also, I'm cleared to start working out again. I'm hoping the weight loss and lost inches speeds up once I'm back in the gym!

I was bands with plication this past Monday (June 25th)! I'm feeling much better today, but I'm having some trouble focusing on my homework for my online class. Haha

I can't wait to start seeing results! I start full liquids tomorrow and I can't wait to have something other than broth! Lol

I started at 248 and got down to 230 post-op. And am currently at 228. I'm 5'5 and I'm 22.
