Man I was done yesterday felt great no today hurt like heck. My lb is so tight that it took 1.5 hrs for the contrast to go though. Have been tring to sip but each sip is met with gas bubbles and can diff tell it is tight. Hope it gets better I have a purring sound coming from my throat sounds just like a cat. Does it more when I lay back

Hopefully your swelling will go down soon. Remember, if you cannot drink you must call your surgeon! You can do real harm if you get dehydrated.

Take care.

Sue started feeling much better today able to drink much more. Already off 3 oral diab meds just on Lantus now

Yeah for you! Getting off meds is huge! Oh, and get used to that 'purring' sound - the lap band makes us very noisy people!

Hess:

Glad you're feeling better. Get some rest so that you continue healing. Remember, this is a time to "baby" yourself.

Take care.

Hi! My date is March 4! I'm not scared, but am Looking forward to getting it over with. What is it you are scared about? I've never had complete anesthesia and it gives me some pause, but I have faith that this is the correct step for me and I will be fine. So will you. Are you on all liquids right now? I've been drinking all liquids for six days. Tomorrow, all clear liquids. How does your surgeon want you to prepare for the surgery?
