Healing After Lap Band Surgery

By Rey Vetangelo


Weight loss surgery may be something that you have seen advertised in a variety of places. For some people, weight loss surgery is the best way to get the extra weight off of their bodies so they can return to a healthy weight and a healthy state of being.

First, you should be sure that you realize that there may be some pain or discomfort as you are healing from your surgery. Many people wake up from their surgery and get worried about the procedure because of the pain that they feel when they wake up.

After you wake up you may need to get pain medication to ensure that you can deal with the discomfort and soreness that you will experience. It is important that you talk with your doctor and workout the perfect dosage for your body to be able to heal comfortably.

The day after your surgery your doctor will probably want to do an x-ray of your stomach to ensure that the procedure went well and is situated properly. When you are discharged, you will want to be very precise when it comes to following the directions of the doctor.

All of the food that you are eating should contribute to your health in a positive way. Choose to eat foods that will provide you with the nutrients and vitamins that are going to promote your body's health and enable your body to function properly.

It is important that your body is getting the nutrients that it needs to continue to be healthy and you shouldn't forget to take those supplements on a consistent basis. You should also be sipping water throughout your entire day, to ensure you do not get dehydrated.

When your stomach is healing you will not be able to drink a large amount of water at once and because of this, it is easy to get dehydrated if you are not consistent with your water. Slowly, you will be able to start introducing small amount of solid food back into your diet.

When you change your eating habits for the better, you may then want to focus on getting out and moving on a consistent basis. If you can get out and start moving consistently, you may notice a change in your body.

Exercise can be difficult when you have a lot of weight to use, so don't be afraid to start small. Maybe this means taking a ten minute walk around your neighborhood or taking the stairs rather than taking the elevator, whatever you do try to get out and start moving more.

If you eat more than your stomach can handle, it will be easy to feel discomfort in your abdomen. Some people also vomit as a result of eating too much food after they have had their lap band surgery.

Losing weight may be difficult, but it will be worth it. Be patient with yourself and work hard to make sure your body is healthy.
