Hello All,

I guess I am officially a November Nymph. Had my lap band surgery on Nov. 21. It went very smoothly and I had very little pain. Today is day 3 post op and I feel really good. Can move totally on my own with very little discomfort. I am one of the lucky ones i guess, no shoulder pain ever, and only slight fever first night home. I did have alot of nausea from the anesthesia and that took a while to pass. Looking forward to keeping in touch and hearing how everyone is doing.

Welcome to the site and congrats on your surgery. Glad you are doing so well. Warning tho, the shoulder pain may still show up. I did not have it the first few days, then all of a sudden..... It is not that bad tho. Donna

I am being banded 11/26th...so excited i cant stand it. I am glad to hear that your healing well, this is encouragement.

I will post after my surgery to let everyone know how i am doing.

take care, Debbie

Welcome to Nov Nymphs! Glad to hear that you're doing well. Give yourself a week or so and you'll be back to normal.

Good luck with your surgery Debbie! :whoo::whoo:

Welcome and congrats!! I was one of the lucky ones too, no problems either. Good luck to you.

Welcome!!! I was banded on Nov 19. My DH was banded on Nov 14. My DH had the shoulder pains, but I haven't had any problems at all. My biggest problem was that I kinda overdid it and caused one of my incesions to bleed.

Welcome and nice to meet you! Did you have any pretreatment for nausea such as the patch the night before?

I'm hoping that will help me to avoid that.

They gave me a prescription pill to take a few hours before my surgery (they recommend while you are changing into your gown). I believe it was called Emend or something like that. It took 2 days for my pharmacy to get it, and it cost me $20 for one pill ($45 without insurance). I didn't have any nausea, so I guess it worked. Good luck with your banding!!!

Welcome to the group! I'm glad you've had minimal pain. Keep us updated on your progress!

Thanks for all of your replies and support. I did not get a preop nausea pill but iv meds for nausea through the first night. I guess like everything it passes, but that was the worst part for me. Not bad, all considered. Looking forward to staying in touch through this board and hearing how everyone is doing as we move along. Best luck to everyone!!!
