Well, Ladies! I'm officially banded. My surgery was at 7:30 yesterday - I also had a hiatal hernia repaired during my surgery. I had to stay the night - my doctor's preference for everyone. I was realeased at about 11:30 this morning.
So far I'm not in any pain. I have an On-Q pouch attached to my stomach that is releasing numbing medicine. It will come out tomorrow so I'm guessing I will have some discomfort tomorrow. I had some difficulty with nausea last night but luckily I was still in the hospital so they were able to take care of it.
I'm okay with drinking the protein shakes about four ounces at a time. I'm having trouble with water though - as soon as I drink a couple ounces I have this horrible pain in my upper chest. It's the weirdest thing.
I had the gas pain in my shoulder for about 7 hours after surgery, but I don't have any of that know so overall I feel pretty lucky.
XOXO,
Veronica
Congrats, glad you feel ok! Take care and be easy on yourself!

Thinking about you. Honestly the first few days were the roughest for me but itnwas smooth sailing after that. Advice!? Get some fiber in some how, I had "issues" after a few days from all the meds. Ask if you need anything. ~a

ReplyDeleteCongrats! Hope you have a speedy recovery. I was fortunate in that I did not have much pain. Soreness, but hardly any actual pain.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I had the same issue with clear liquids, but was fine with thicker/creamy liquids. Not sure what's up with that.
