Recommended Posts

I'm to be at the hospital at 9:15 in the morning for my band! I have been cool as a cucumber for the last 7 months til tonight, now I'm a little nervous. Wishing anybody getting their band tomorrow smooth sailing! I would love to keep in touch with anybody willing to chat about how things are going. :D Good luck!

Thanks everyone! All went well and I had a hernia repaired too. I did outpatient so I am at home now with the heating pad waiting to be able to take my next dose of pain meds. I did a little walking tonight, hope to get much more walking in tomorrow.

are you using the heating

pad for gas pain or to soothe your belly? I

forgot mine at home. Wishing I didn't. I don't have has pain but my port site is so tender I think a heating pad would feel nice. Hows It working for you?

I think it might be a little of both. It does feel soothing though! Im glad I have it. I'm thinking if not for the hernia repair i probably wouldn't be have much discomfort at all.

I was thinking about backing out too at the last minute, but I think a lot of people have "stage fright". Over all it the surgery itself hasn't been a bad experience so far. I was outpatient and just took some chapstick, (chapstick a very good suggestion i picked up on here from others) and a pillow to hold on my stomach on the way home. I've been staying on top of my pain meds and had the heating pad on pretty much since I got home. If it wasn't for the hernia repair I don't think I would be having much discomfort at all. It was not as bad as I thought it was, and I don't remember a thing once I got in the OR. You will do great!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
