Think back....

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

I was banded on Monday6 days ago.

I thought it was easy peasy at first, came out well from the operation, got up

and walked around and came home that night.

The probs began the next day.

I can barely get any liquids down.

I took some pills that night and got a painful vomiting blockage!

Since then am terrified to drink anything but can't anyway.

I am struggling to get down about 600mls a day - one protein drink and a small

glass of juice.

Each day the pill thing is a problem again so have started crushing them and

taking them hours apart.

I get the feeling that most people here have had their surgeries done a long

time ago.

Can anyone think back as to what it was like for you in this first week and see

if it is the same?

I rang the dr and he is away but his nurse said that it is normal swelling and

will take a week to settle.

I had visions of drinking all manner of things in these days but that is not the

case.

Do you think this is normal?

Cheers

Sally
