Warning when you revise
Dec 26, 2011
Something no one had no idea would happen was the Band narrowed around my stomach. I had an extensive surgery to remove scar tissue, adhesion's, and they found an old suture. If your doctor wants to remove to Lap-Band and wants to wait 4 weeks to proceed with another procedure just agree. I didn't get this option and I am wondering if it would have made a difference with my recovery. I was in the hospital for 8 days and when I woke up from surgery I had a feeding tube down my nose. This was to perform for two purpose's. One to keep the narrowing of my stomach open as I healed and second to give me nutrition as I heal. I can still have clear liquids. I went home with the tube and home health care has provided the feeding products. It takes12 hours to feed in a day. It's very slow going into your stomach. I left the hospital at 60ml. I reached goal of 90ml. I get cabin fever and I feel like crawling out of my skin. I just need to relax, but I am laying around all day. I do have medication to calm me down. I never thought I would feel this way. Tomorrow is my doctor appointment and I feel confident he will remove the tube. I am healing with desire to eat. My stomach growls. This has been a very long healing process with complications. I would not do it again!
