Who's Getting Banded in August???

[Shamrockgirl60 1]

Thanks Dixiedoo, I don't have any self doubts at all, I was pretty calm about all of this. I am not the least bit hungry which is amazing to me. I have to force myself to eat that Jello and broth. I never thought I would see that coming a mile away. Right now the jello does taste great and the broth like prime rib LOLLOLLOL. It's too funny.

Once the swelling and gas goes down I hope my pre-op weight will show again. I am not worried the least bit about it.

Good luck everyone.

Have any of you had extensive bruising after banding? When I came home Wednesday, I had a small bruise next to each of the 2 incisions. Now 3 days later, one wound has almost no bruising, but the incision for the port has a bruise the size of my hand. Is this normal?

[Claudine1975 0]

I had a lot of bruising around my port incisions and still do. I think it is pretty normal.

I have bruising too, they are starting to go away now though.

sfinneran1 you will be fine, it nothing compared to what I thought and was worried about. I am a little sore, but have been walking around all day and I was an outpatient yesterday. The gas is the hardest part.

Good Luck

Sfinneran...I was originally gonna go to Dr. Kuri but had problems with my passport. Just out of curiosity... how long is the visit?

Good luck & we wish you the best.

Congratualtions to all the newly banded! You all sound sooo happy to me. My surgery is Wednesday, and I am having doubts and second thoughts as well. I hope everyone continues to do well and good luck to all those being banded with me this week.

Hi - I was banded August 7th - still on clear fluids and doing very well. I couldn't believe how well I felt post-op. I would love to keep in touch. I am not familiar with the site so will try to communicate through lapbandtalk.com but my email address is nurseduncan@hotmail.com.
