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 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 :)

      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.
