Lap band woes and more



Recommended Posts

SO I have been having sharp pain in my port side just below it...then the pain intensified over a few days and spread to my flank and back....

I went to the surgeon yesterday...I tested positive for a kidney infection...on friday if the pain doesnt get any better on the antibiotics, I have to go to have a CT scan. His thereoy is this...my port tube may also be wrapped arround fat or adhered to a muscle. if he sees the problem he will go in and take care of it. if he finds nothing, i can have him do an exploritory lap and if still he sees nothing he said that there is a chance he will have to remove the band because my body can be rejecting it. I would be bummed to lose the band...I only had it since Jan 22 and have lost a total of 52 pounds.

Wow. Well best of luck to you on this. Congrats on the 52! Way to go. I'm sorry for your present hassles.

.............................................

Folks I am flat wigging out. I mean it. I'm an emotional rock crusher right now.

I have ZERO tolerance for foul odors. One day something tastes good, the next I could and would gag.

I screamed at my family for taking such advantage of me. I normally work my AZZ off and have so since they were born and since I married. This is some 25 years. I tried to return to work this week and my job requires HIGH levels of mental processing. I just could not do it. So now I am home.

I sent them to the store last night for FOUR items. food items that I can eat. Someone decided I didn't NEED one or two things. I flipped out.

I am feeling like at a critical time when I need some support and YES pampering, they are bailing on me.

Does anyone remember labor and what TRANSITION was during labor? THAT is what this feels like.

Lap- Sounds like you're pregnant! J/k

I know what you mean about the pampering. You have years on me, but for about 5 years, its just me and fiance and I take care of EVERYTHING!! I clean, I cook (yeah right, just kidding, neither of us a cook).. but if someone was going to cook, it would be me!, I pick up after the animals (all of which seem to have some disgusting habit that needs cleaning up on a daily basis), I do the dishes, I do laundry, I pay the bills.. And before the surgery I told him it's his turn, I need to be relaxing and doing nothing. Well, he did it half-ass.. picked up a couple things when I fussed.. but other then that, this place has turned into a pig stye. Only because of the doctor's orders to rest my side, have I not started tearing the place apart. And I've had to send him to the grocery store for last minute food ideas (when I realize I can have something and I don't have it), and he grumbles the whole time. Men..can't live with them, can't get away with killing them.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
