Had my surgery a couple of days ago and feeling fair. Still battling gas pains from the gas they used and also having intestinal gas. I have to be careful when I pass gas because I have had a few accidents (liquids in, liquids out). Not real hungry. I had list 17 lbs on my pre-op diet but feeling pretty bloated so not even going to get on scales for a bit. Very encouraged though....

I had my band done last Sunday 27th April on my 31st birthday!! I'm on the liquid diet the last 7 days I am finding it great but am feeling a lil weak!! I'm so happy I have found this site as I am so new to this change in lifestyle and haven't told any of my friends or family about the band only my hubby, mam and sister in law

Did anyone have any problems with temperature regulation after surgery? 3 days post-op. Last night I was up half the night. I would break out in a horrible sweat (soaked the bed and my gown) then chill real bad. It repeated all night long! Thinking that it may be from having iv's in hospital and only urinating a couple of times.... My body trying to get rid of fluids...

I haven't experienced anything like that!! I have felt very dizzy and faint think mine is down to sugar withdrawal!! I would ring your clinic and see what they say.

Is your incisional site ok? May be your body reacting to something foreign in it. It should pass, but if you notice red or swollen incision sites and continued fever, I would notify my physician. Your incision will be slightly red and swollen after surgery and that is normal but it should start to get less and less as the days progress. I had a low grade temp for several evenings post op, but not like what you are describing. I am a nurse (24 years- ICU), so just pay attention and never feel like you can't let your doctor know about your concerns.

      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
