Just Got Banded-Still Hospitalized



Recommended Posts

I was banded Wednesday & doc wanted me to stay since it was later in the afternoon. No additional tests just routine vitals. Just one dose of Tylenol in hospital & one dose at home.

The gas was bad, but it is relieving.

I can't get a deep breath in, but I have exercises to do.

I am walking & resting... but I am kinda bored already. LOL

I still have some trouble getting up more than anything. I kinda walk hunched over for a minute til I get it moving.

I got my best sleep propped up on the love seat. For me that's an old asthma trick. Then I just had to swing my legs around. Then I had a good base with my legs and the arm of the love seat.

The bed is definitely a lot harder.

I couldn't lay down when I got home yesterday, so I slept sitting up on the couch recliner. But last night I true to lay down on my right side (port is on the left) and was able to sleep, but needed help to get up. That hurts more than anything.

I can't sit on my couch :( I keep sinking in and can't get up. So I sit in a hard dining room table chair, or I sleep in my bed with pillows propped all around me

Thank you for asking. I was also going to ask about the hernias because a few ppl had them repaired. Is this something that they found during the procedure for those of you that had the repair?

Most people have a hyatial hernia, happens from being overweight no extra problems/pain or time in the hosp, they fix it when they band u :)

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
