hey everybody i got banded :frown: on Saturday the 30th of August

i have little pain :w00t: at the incision site and the band it self is irritating me a little bit :tt2:

today i had my first soup :frown:, i was living on water the past 2 days and the I.V. :smile:

my doctor prescribed a multi vitamin tablets for 6 months

and stomach tablets for 1 month

and an antibiotic for 1 week

wish me luck y'all

good luck! we are supposed to take vitamins forever, but no antibiotic for a week. Glad you are feeling good; it gets better every day!

Congrats! How was the pre-surgery diet?

i didn't know about the multivitamins for life, i guess the doctor was going to prescribe another 6 months of it

i also think the antibiotic is for a quick healthy recovery for the stomach and the wound

about the pre-op diet:

the doctor told me i should only drink liquids one day before the surgery

and thats it!!

may be because of my age and the fact that i never drank alcohol in my life my liver was not enlarged so much

but thats only what i think, i didn't get the chance to ask the doctor

My liver wasn't fatty because of alcohol LOL it was fatty because of fat! But it's better now! I was very obese and I'm sure that's why he put me on the diet; all surgeons are just a little bit different! :tt2:

sorry i didn't mean to imply that your liver is enlarged because of drinking i just read somewhere in the forum about this issue and this is what i understood from the topic

i am glad you took it this friendly way

otherwise i am sorry

It's ok I wasn't at all insulted. I don't know which is worse...drinking too much alcohol or too many milkshakes!

Nice of you to apologize to me but it wasn't needed at all! :blushing:

I don't know which is worse...drinking too much alcohol or too many milkshakes!

:lol: very funny lol

Good luck and congrats

Congrats!! Mine is coming up soon and I'm so nervous now that it is right in face.
