Hi everyone
Thought I would start a diary, first post could be long!
I had my consultation with THG on 9th August and booked for band on 28th August.
DId a 2 wek pre op diet and lost 9-10 pounds.
Had op at DOlan park and everything was good.
I have got to say I am now 9 days post op and I was expecting to be back to normal but still in quite a bit of pain.
My port scar had opened last Thursday and a friend a nurse steri stripped it. SHe rechecked it saturday and steri stripped again so am waiting to get it checked today and hoping all ok.
Still have a lot of pain on port site, tender on full stomach, and wind pain still bothering me. SLeeping ok but waking up with back ache as I am sleeping on my back!
I have lost a few more pounds this week since op I'm about 15 pound down now in total. On liquids only which I am managing but looking forward to normal mush next week.
I have been out and about the last few days and walking a lot better. Stomach still feels heavy and hangy when I'm walking.
I'm back at work next Wednesday and just hoping I am getting back to normal by then.
Gonna start keeping a track of my calories today and see how I'm doing. Weight not shifting that quick but could be with not eating enough.
Anyway that will do for now.
