Recommended Posts

Holy down under Batman! Where did all the Aussies come from? Lmao, hey not complaining, there cool people, awesome accent. But I've got two Sheila's in my pouch to care for, they are getting banded and sent out with no info, may as well give them a loaded gun and say here, see what this does. .. crazy Aussie doctors! Hate to see what use for scalpel, machete?

You know what I really think you might be right! Thank god I found this forum. Mine sent me home with no pain meds. I'm guessing this isn't the norm??

I got given a whole book on the band, guidelines for eating pre and postop etc. That sounds like as much if not more info than a lot of the US Dr's give. I think in general a lot of the Dr's don't have the time or the inclination to give more than the basics. That is why sites such as these are so valuable. Actual experience is far better than theory . Who except for someone that has a band can tell you what it is like to live with, how it feels, what it feels like when you are stuck etc.

      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!!
