May Surgery Dates???



Recommended Posts

Well my surgery went great. I had it about 130 pm yesterday and got home a little after 9. They gave me liquid loritab fir pain but I don't like the way it makes me feel so I haven't been taking it. I'm not in a lot of pain pain just the gas pains also the pain from b being tense cause I'm cold. Mire than likely I'm going to get something in my stomach then try to take the med and hope it doesn't make me nauseated.

I'm really glad everything went really well! congratulations! :)

had mine yesterday! You will do great. Its really not that bad' date=' more uncomfortable and irritating feeling than actual soreness. I havent had to use any pain meds yet, and the only reason why i am getting ready to is so that i can take a nap soon. One think I would suggest is wearing PJ's that button up with a sports bra rather than regular clothes. Its much easier putting on a button up shirt rather that one over your head. :) If you have any other questions feel free to send me a message or add me as a friend.

How did your surgery go?

Whoops should have read all the post before I asked. That's good that your surgery went great. I unfortunately had pain following my surgery on the 1st. I feel better today. I think most of my pain is from my hernia.

I have really enjoyed reading what others are doing in the same boat as me.... Surgery is 5/17 in Modesto CA... 2nd day of pre-op, very hungry with headache, BUT also started my visit from Aunt Flow! I heard the first three or 4 days is the worse, then my body will settle down... I hope. It's only 2 weeks, then the adjustment to the band.... Was nervous, but he closer I get, the more excited, less nervous... Talking to others has helped with my nerves more than anything!!

I had mine May 1st. This morning was the roughest time so far, as I had terrible gas pains this morning. Prior to that it was just some gas/air in my chest that caused discomfort. I used gas-x and my liquid phenergan to get me through. My doctor also prescribed liquid lortab and I've tried to use it sparingly. They also suggested Tylenol rapid blast but its been recalled. We got the CVS brand and it has worked even better than the lortab. I've eaten some Jello and chicken broth over the last couple of days but haven't had much of an appetite. Just making sure to get up and walk and sip my water! Good luck to you all!

I have my EGD for the hernia tomorrow at 6am (and I wish to have it so bad! Since my insurance will cover the hernia surgery) and my lapband surgery in Friday. I went to Walmart to get everything that I need: clear broth, Popsicles, Greek yogurt, apple sauce, iced tea, new slippers and a comfy nightshirt for the day of the surgery and others things in the picture :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
