New Nov Nymph



Recommended Posts

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

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. :wacko:

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

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.

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!!!

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!!!

      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
