  1. I also live in Utah, so we 3 ought to share information/resources we find. Have you gotten fills done at the fill center in Salt Lake? I was just banded last week and I am terrified to even try and eat some of the foods I ate before, but I am sure that will pass and I'll have to deal with the same cravings I struggled with, but I am hoping the threat of vomiting and pain is enough of a scare to keep me from trying. I was not banded by Dr. Ortiz, but my Dr said liquids for the first complete week after a fill.
  2. NOT on my list of clear fluids any longer. Bleah. I have been drinking tons of juice and my sister brought me a hic orange from mcd's - I figured it was fine and drank it. I am so queasy now I can't believe it. Bleeeeahhhh.......
  3. I am on day 6 post-op, taking it easy staying with the eating plan I was given, walking around but being careful. The incisions are healing very well and my pain is less every day. BUT- when I turn or try to get out of bed using my stomach muscles sometimes I get a very sharp stabbing pain in my abdomen. It is 3-4 inches below and to the left of my port incision, so I know it isn't something going wrong with the incision. I have had c sections and I am pretty sure I remember having random occasional stabbing pains as I healed, so I am not freaking out, but I never really asked my OB/GYN why they happened and I cannot remember how long they lasted. It happens only when I make the mistake of forgetting and trying to use my tummy muscles but- wow- they hurt like the dickens. I guess I just want to know if any of you had this and re-assurance that it is okay and normal. And temporary,lol.
  4. I was just banded in TJ last week, and am looking for some support and help when I have questions online. My best friend had it done in July and her surgery went much smoother than mine, but I am okay. I will need to find a fill Dr. In Salt Lake City or I'll just have to make the trips to TJ until I find one here. Right now I am mostly struggling with the pain in my shoulder that comes and goes and seems to be worse at night, but that could be because I am trying to sleep and more aware. Besides this forum, what are some other good places for post-op information and support? How do I begin finding a local doctor to do fills?
