December Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

I won't get my first fill until the 16th. But I found out the hard way that I have a band!

Last night DH fixed supper. Lasagna and Brussels sprouts, I'm on mushies. Without thinking I put half a sprout in my mouth, chewed it briefly (like pre-surgery) and swallowed. OH MY. It hurt! I didn't know if it was going down or coming up for the longest time. Finally it went down. I waited quite a while before trying eat again. Everything was fine after that. I can't imagine what it would have been like if I'd had more restriction. Oh well, lesson learned!

I had my first fill today. I have the AP Large band. I received 1.5cc of saline. It didn't hurt a bit. Was in and out in 15 minutes (from check in to check out). I am losing at a great pace. The nurse wasn't alarmed at all. In fact she told me that while they would like patient's to lose 1 to 2 lbs per week, men often lose at a faster pace. She asked if I felt I needed a fill. Not having had one, I replied that I would at least like to see how it affects me. liquids today (not just clear either) and mushies tomorrow. The paper she gave me said that not all patients have swelling or have a touchy stomach, but just to be safe. I will go back in 2 weeks for another fill. Gotta love these bands!!!! Nothing ever worked until now. Good luck to the rest of you!!!

I had a large area around my port that was filled with Fluid. (It was the size of a grapefruit.) I went to see the nurse. She drained 218 ccs of fluid from that area. Has anyone else had a problem like this? She said that it happens sometimes and it could come back. Well, it has. Share your experience if this happened to you.

there was a lady in my support group that said when she was on vacation last yr. she got something stuck for the first time she suffered to 48hrs then called the dr. he told her to drink meat tenderizer to mix it with a little Water and drink it, she went right to the grocery store and got some,said she had some water in there car and mixed it and drank it ,she said in the approx.3 miles to there hotel she had instant relief. so long story use meat tenderizer if you get something stuck.

I had my surgery on December 4th, 2007 by Dr. David Elliott in Richmond, VA. I have noticed that everyone is losing more weight than me. Please help. I have only lost 14 lbs since my surgery. Its now January 14th.

      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
