Surgery Was Yesterday



Recommended Posts

Hi all

Feels good to be on the other side with you all :)

My surgery was yesterday 5/15/12 and I had to arrive at 7:30am. Went into the OR at 9:30am.

Today, I feel ok. My one week post op visit is next Wednesday. I lost 18lbs during the liquid diet (very grateful).

Looking forward to healing and beginning my new relationship with my band :)

No pain at all. I was banded a month ago today. First few days were rough but mostly from severe gas which is normal. Incisions have just about completely healed up. I had surgery on a Monday and I felt fine to go back to work on Wednesday but I ended up taking vacation.

You'll do great!!

Hey! Glad to hear to you doing well. I am the blue folder buddy who followed you through the upper GI, pre-op and then to the nutrition class last Tuesday. I am not needing pain meds either. Did you stay overnight? I came home that afternoon.

My pain is minimal. Mostly discomfort from the gas and I'm a little sore around my biggest incision. Gas-X strips have been my friend. No real desire to eat just enjoying sf Popsicles. I do miss my coffee with Creamer though :)

I think you'll do great. Just make sure you're up walking around afterwards. It helps with the gas and it helps you feel better overall. Good luck!

Update when you're feeling up to it.

Awesome! We are twins :)

I'm sore also, I took my pain meds to help with the pain while i move around. It was difficult for me to sleep last night due to the gas pains. But today I'm feeling better. I went in yesterday morning and was discharged early afternoon.

Feel better soon :)

LOL I was wondering how you were doing... Yes I stay overnight due to having the plication.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
