Glad to hear you are on the mend on day 3, I'm so glad I am staying the night because my 21month old would be wanting to wrestle &climb on me. How are you coping with the kids on day 3-4?

Not bad. I did something smart and had my mother-in-law come stay for the week so she has been on kid duty. Next week I am still home from school but the kids are gone from 9-3:30. They still don't get that they can't bump into my belly or hug me too tightly, but we are working at it.

I have to say, I still have some body gas still but really I am feeling pretty decent. Hope you guys are too!!

Had my surgery at 9:30 am this morning and was home by 1pm. Did barium swallow and had hernia fixed. Aside from sleeping I am doing great! No gas pains just a little shakey and alot of cotton mouth. 1 cc in band . Did anyone on here have theirs done today as well? I went into this with a positive attitude and came out with the same. I feel if you take what you read on here good, bad or indifferent, retain what applies to your situation, and keep positive things will be fine for you and you will have a great outcome. It is always good to be prepared for all events. I wish you all success and good luck ! :wub:

Had my surgery last Wed. No loner needing any pain meds. I feel great as far as that goes. My biggest issue is I am having such a hard time urinating. Also, my sugar is super low.

Are you drinking Water? You could be dehydrated. If you have diabetes and normally take medication and continue to take the same amount while you're eating far less, that could cause low blood sugar. You might want to call your regular doctor.

Had my surgery this morning, all went well. I did cry going in to the operating room, I was so nervous. But they gave me some valium in the iv &I felt great after that! LOL

I'm now at home resting. The gas pain is bad but walking really helps. I can't believe I have a lap band!!!!!

Wow, I hope I feel that good 4days post op. I have a lot of pain this morning. Gas pain is much less, but still in my shoulders a little. I'm feeling very proud of my self going through surgery though.

Good luck everyone, who's next!!!???

      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!!
