Hi all, wish me luck. Really nervous right now and being a nurse does not help. All kinds of things are running through my head. Will update later.

:) Wish you smooth travels into our lap band world! Where are you from? Being a nurse will surely be of good help to you. You have the schooling on nutrition which seems to me would make it "right on"

Be the pt for now. Leave the nursing behind. Its very easy to believe we know whats best when this is as "greek" to us as it is to everyone else, even as nurses. My mother was a dietician and I was still a fat person. I knew the rules, just didn't know how to apply them. You'll do great. Come back and let us know how it all went once you feel like it.

Hi all, well i'm doing well post op day 2. Had my surgery on 2/18. I'm on full liquids right now. Pain is better today but mostly sore when i sit, lay, or get up. Gas is much better today too. It's moving down now so no more shoulder pain which was rough the first day and the next day. Hate my Bariatric Advantage Vitamins because they taste gross. Thanks for everyone's support.

        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!!
