surgery questions??   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #394 of 2891 |
Hello all I am new to the chat room. I am in the process of
(hopefully) being approved by my insurance for the band. I have done a
lot of research online but have not had the chance to speak to anyone
regarding the procedure, and life afterwards! So please anyone and
everyone I would love your feedback. Some of my questions include: How
long did you stay at the hospital? Were you scared? Does it hurt? Do
they give you pain medicine if so? Was it hard to adjust to the diet
after the surgery, not just the clear liquids but even after that? Do
you really feel "full" after eating? How much weight have you lost?
How much weight did you lose within the first month after surgery?
What are you doing to help lose the weight? Anything else you would
care to talk about to is great. I would appreciate any and all
replies!! Thanks again.
Paula

The dietary changes for me were gradual. Right after being banded you have a specific diet that you need to follow, i.e. liquids (broth, juice, etc.) then...
