1 Month Appointment

May 08, 2009

Well I haven't posted in a while.  Surgery went well they found a hiatal hernia during surgery which she repaired.  I think I actually had more pain from the hernia than the actual lapband.  Everything has gone well I have had not side effects or complications. 

Yesterday I went in for my 1 month checkup and first fill.  I'm down 11 lbs since surgery and 21 lbs since my first appoint with Dr Nelson.  I feel good and encourage about my decision.  Dr Nelson put 2cc in my 10cc band during surgery and yesterday she put an additional 2cc in.  I'm on liquids for 24 hours, mushes for 24 hours and then progress to normal foods again.  I'm hoping to get a little more restriction, the last couple of days before my appointment have been hard.  No sure if it's head hunger or just ready for fill, but I've wanted to eat so much more than before.

My weight loss is a little slower than some but that's fine with me as long as I can average 1-2 lbs a week.  I didn't put this weight on over night and maybe if it comes off slow I will keep it off and get use to my new way of eating.
