Question:
one week out of lap band

I'm new to computers as well as lapband. I feel very tired and weak. the gas is starting to get in control, But i feel if i drink 1 more liquid I will vomit. i had a URI a week before my surgery and a UTI 2 weeks before my surgery. I think I was depleated before my surgery,so maybe thats why i feel so bad. Does anyone have advice!!!    — badecka (posted on February 15, 2007)

I would suggest you speak to your Dr. or Surgeon. You may need vitamin supplements earlier than most. Good luck, and very best wishes. Chris

Aloha! I had my lap band on 9/5/06. The first two or three weeks after I was really dragging. Two reasons... one, you just had surgery, albeit laparoscopic, with anesthesia. That takes a lot out of you for a while. Two, you aren't eating the calories that you did before, correct? That, too, will decrease your energy for a while. Im 5 months out and feel wonderful. Take it easy on the fluids... just sip every 15 minutes or so...don't gulp. It gets better! Good luck!
