First Post Op Appointment Since Being Banded 9/11



Recommended Posts

I have my post op appointment this morning at 8 am. I'll be glad once I talk to the surgeon and get more of an idea on what to expect with this port. it's weird throughout the day it feels like the port is more hidden but on the morning it s more pronounced feels like it's protruding.

My appointment went very well I lost 6 pounds that wk making my total weightloss 15 lbs.dr was very happy with my progress and said as long as I continue to lose there is no need for a fill right now. I go back on 10/9 for another checkup and possibly a fill.

Its HUGE adjustment the surgery fixes our stomach but not our mind. I'm not prefect but I try my best everyday. There are days where I'm not hungry at all and then there are days that I'm starving. Try to stay away from high calorie high fat food foods. I still have my reg coffee with either skim milk or reg cream, or a slice of pizza that I chew very well no crust. Its all about choices and how bad you want to lose this weight once and for all. My dr said he would give me a fill at 3 weeks if I want and I'm not losing.however I'm still listing down a total 24 lbs. I'm pleased with that and still have approx 53lbs to go

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
