Camping after Banding

[Guest sdejong]

So, I have, I repeat have to go camping the day after I get home from my trip to TJ. Not totally roughing it, we have a camper but camping with people that don't/won't every know that I am being banded. Any suggestions, or things that might help..... My mother has been banded for about 1.5 years and she says she will help but I am soooooo nervous. Does anyone know if it is easier to get dehydrated after banding? Thanks for any help.

It's ALOT easier to get dehydrated after being banded! Make sure you have alot to drink with you. You'll be on clear liquids then and need to drink often. I kept room temp bottled water with me all the time [room temp worked better for me, cold stuff gave me the "phantom" shoulder pains] I sipped all day long. Just take it easy and let your Mom help you and keep sipping and walking. I felt pretty good after surgery, went shopping on Revolution Ave. the day after, with a bottle of water of course Best wishes, Darlene
