Who's out there? We don't have too long to wait!!!:clap2:

My update after 10 day post-op Dr. visit:

I lost 5.5 pounds! :-) Not bad for ten days. And I got advanced to "soft foods". This is a great day!!!

WAY TO GO LEGSTER!!!! ... its a great feeling, isn't it?

:clap2: I am so relieved! My surgeons office called this morning to tell me that my surgery can be rescheduled to Tues May 29th. It was supposed to be today but my Dr. became ill. He is on the mend and I am so glad I dont have to wait too much longer. Thanks for all of the support yesterday. I was so upset. I am still a May bandster!:clap2:

Melissa: You went bathing suit shopping :faint: Oh Nooooo! Girl, lets go get a pedicure/massage. You need to be pampered. But I agree with the other gal, keep the suits that you like but give yourself some time. Hey, Sarah Jessica Parker just came out with a new clothing line called: Bitten in sizes 2-22 and all under 14.95! The clothes will be out on June 7th -- com'on let go shopping -- by then my swelling tummy will be down.

Wenjea: Thanks for the pat on the back :biggrin1: I will be seeing the kids this afternoon -- a hug makes me 100% better. Something healing in a childs hug. After the holiday I'm gonna ask to bring the children home.

Mischievous1: Thanks for the warm thoughts. ..... That line about pregnancy had me rolling on the floor! You're such a clever girl!

When I get up in the morning my band is tight, but I am very thirsty. So I either have gatorade or coffee but my shakes begin at 11 or 12. So, since I am feeling rather good, I will take my own advice and go get a sporty pedicure. I will paint my toes a summer color and ask for an extra leg massage. A week ago I wasn't ready to venture out, but today is the day. Bye, now!

I did pamper myself and got a pedicure last Friday. I'm going to keep the bathing suits.. they arent really THAT bad...

So happy to hear the good news!!

I'm feeling horrible! I don't know if my hubby brought me home the flu or what is going on. I'm weak, achy, diarrhea still, and even had to take my anti-spew pills today. I've been getting leg cramps too. Think I may have dehydrated. I did also take immodium finally this morning and have managed to get down 40 oz of water so far. Ugh. I called the doc's office and told them what was going on so we shall see if I improve during the day today. And I did SO GOOD yesterday....

I guess we haven't heard from ragdoll yet. She must still be laying low. Any other 23rd bandsters checked in other than me yet?

I think thats the band I received last week.. My doctor said that it had just become available in the last couple of weeks for placement in the US. Less likely to slip. I know if I drink anything very quickly I get the tight feeling and when I become satisified my tummy where my inceisions are ache a little. My husband said that was normal for him as well so I'm not worrying about it. I'm so excited that everyone seems to be handling the surgery well. I could not believe how quick the recovery process was.. Although I have not been able to work a full day yet.. I'm probably just milking it though.

Any ideas on how long it takes for the post-op stomach swelling to go away?

Greetings All!

Well had my surgery on Tuesday. Doc discovered a hiatal hernia when he was poking

around inside me, so he fixed that too. Came home yesterday. I'm sore with pain

when I get up and down, but tolerable. No pains meds needed. Just feeling

generally tired and sore, but nothing I can't deal with. The gas has been minimal

up to this point, but this morning seems to have kicked in. I'm just a big ole

fart factory!!!

Learning to sip and drink 4 oz of liquid over a 20-minute period is difficult,

but I'm getting it. The full feeling comes on quickly, doesn't it!

Haven't yet read all the posts I've missed, but hope all banded in the past few

days are doing well. And that all those going in today - Kansassooner, cyndilou29,

amy, Phyllis S, deb24, jojo, sue11 and Lori Ann - have easy goes of it!

I think I have gotten most of the calendar updates, but I'll read through the last

two days carefully and post again if necessary.

Cheers to all.

Margaret

WELCOME BACK AND GLAD YOU MADE IT TO BANDLAND WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS:D

It took I guess 3 or 4 days for my swelling to go down. I felt PG for several days..

:clap2: I am so relieved! My surgeons office called this morning to tell me that my surgery can be rescheduled to Tues May 29th. It was supposed to be today but my Dr. became ill. He is on the mend and I am so glad I dont have to wait too much longer. Thanks for all of the support yesterday. I was so upset. I am still a May bandster!:clap2:

I am sooo happy for you!!! No w you can relax and enjoy your weekend! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I was banded on the 22nd. Surgery took twice as long as they thought because I have a hiatal hernia and have of my stomach was in my chest cavity so they had to repair that first. I am doing good, waiting for my children to get off work and come and visit, slept most of the morning and been up and about all afternoon.

Did any of you feel great and get worse or can I assume the worst is over?

Hi everyone!

It seems mostly everyone is feeling ok. That's good. I don't feel as good today as I did yesterday. I am 3 days post-op. I did go see the dr. today for follow-up. I have lost 7 lbs. That's very exciting!!! I am still on clear liquids until Monday, then I go on full liquids. I really haven't been that hungry, which is good. I was lucky to have family come and help. They made meals for the dh and kids for the next week. I can't tell you how great that is!

I truly enjoy reading all the posts and seeing all the updates.

Way to go A-May-zing Bansters!!
