JUNE 2009 Lap Band Surgery

[spud.mama 7]

nccatvet~~I talked to my nurse today and she said that yes I most likely pulled a muscle and if it doesn't get better in a few days then to call her again.

Mine doesn't hurt in the morning anymore, just starts in the afternoon and if I'm doing alot of bending or reaching. Once it started hurting at work today I panicked and that's when I called. And I've babied it since. Hopefully we will feel better soon. It's an all new journey!

Hi all!

I just wanted to let you know that I had my surgery today and I am doing pretty good. I am sore only when I have to get up from the sofa and sleepy, but other than that all is well.

Hi everyone! New to the site, but trying to figure things out. Do you have room for one more? I was just banded on Monday (6/29) and doing okay so far. Some aching and pains when I move certain ways, but I think I'm starting to heal up and going easy on liquids right now. Just wanted to say hello!!

Of course we have room for 1 more. Welcome and hope you have a speedy recovery.

To me it is!! My stomach growled pretty much nonstop for the entire time I was on Clear Liquids, about a week and a half post-surgery! Once I was able to add Protein Shakes and yogurt to my diet, it settled down...

I had surgery on June 5th and was wondering if having lost 17lbs is about average??

HI! I started my preop 2 weeks before surgery and lost 7 pounds. Since surgery, I am down another ten (and starving I might add). I also have a total of 17 pounds since two weeks before June 12th surgery. Fill one week from today and can't wait!!!

I had surgery on the June 5th also and has lost 15 pounds since. I think any loss is great now before we have restriction.

Is it possible for me to still be having gas pain that travels to my shoulders and neck? My surgery was June 18 so on Thursday I'll be 3 weeks out. I've been thinking I reherniated a disc in my neck or that the torn rotater cuff in my left shoulder is sending referred pain there, but maybe not. The pain comes late afternoon if I've been standing or walking around. I can sit leaning back quite comfortably.
