Just been banded !!!!!!

[jinkles]

Hi all. My name is Jenny and I was successfully banded yesterday at the Nuffield Hospital in Newcastle-under-Lyme (Staffs) by Mr Cheruvu and his team. I am a little sore but have managed to have a very runny 1/2 weetabix for breakfast and have just had a very small amount of chicken soup. I am soooo happy and relieved I've finally done it !!!!!

Congrats!!

Could you possibly do a daily diary on here starting with your surgery day? It would really be good for people going in for Gastric Band surgery as a lot of people on here have had bypass surgery.
It is also good for you to look back on when you are like skinny mini lol!

I am having a Gastric Band myself very soon.

Well done what a good start to 2009.

Post-Op Day 2

Hi all, I am planning on doing some sort of a diary on here for all to read. I've never done anything like this before so bare with me.

I had quite an uncomfortable night, not being able to cutchy down into my usual sleeping position and woke up several times with 'wind' pains, decided to get up at 4am for pain relief. This was perhaps a bit of a mistake as it woke my 2 girls 4 yrs and 23mths. Needless to say I've had a pretty rotten day with having to cope with my discomfort and my childrens tired whinging and wanting my complete undivided attention, husband been very good tho!!!

I managed to eat 1/2 a weetabix with warm skimmed milk for breakfast (took 20mins to go down) had several small drinks throughout the day then managed a low cal cuppa soup at 4pm. and am currently having a small cup of low fat ovaltine. I DO NOT FEEL HUNGRY AT ALL WOW!!! Don't know how long this will last tho as I have no real restriction yet.

I have had to change 2 of my water-proof dressings 2day as they are still bleeding out a bit. The scar surrounding my port site is really uneven and 'puckered' anybody else had this???

 

[Muppet]

Oh dear, but things change hunny, so dont despair....I'm sure your wounds will heal soon, it is early days yet, but if they do continue to leak, then seek the advice of your GP.


Great that you dont feel hungry, this is what its all about!!!!

I cant wait to feel that way again.

Good luck chick and dont forget to post about whats happening with you. xx
