That would annoy me too! Can you ask him to go in another room?

I was at my pre op class today and they said most of their patients don't have a problem with gas pain because they're woken up to walk every 2 hours. Lol So, that sounds horrible, but I guess better than painful gas!

Good luck, shy!

Amazing news! Congrats

1 Week Post-Op & Working Out!!!
kah1213 replied to BesslerBanded's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was just at my pre op class today. The nurse said treadmill or elliptical or recumbent bike is good after the first week. Nothing too strenuous for a month tho, so it looks like my trainer wont see me for a few weeks! -
To Tell Or Not To Tell That You've Had Lapband Surgery Or Wls(Weight Loss Surgery)
kah1213 replied to lafaye999's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I finally told my dad because he's picking me up from the hospital, and I told one other friend who I know can keep a secret. It's a personal choice and for me I just don't feel like broadcasting the news (for now). -

Do you have to be careful with abs and other bending due to the port? Curious. -
How Often Do You Eat Socially Now?
kah1213 replied to daisychains7's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I haven't had my surgery yet. I keep hearing about people having stuck episodes,and it scares me that it might happen while out to dinner with friends. but I guess that's why a lot of bandsters just order soup! -
Lap Band With Gastric Plication
kah1213 replied to Calamity Jane's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's not covered by my insurance and it's still in the research phase. My doc is doing it and I'll be part of the study. -
I don't have to do pre op diet--only 1 day clear liquids, but I plan to do protein shakes for a few days before surgery anyway.

I have my pre-surgical testing and bariatric surgery class tomorrow. My paperwork says I should allow 6 hours of my day for both these things. Did anyone else have the same thing? What exactly is the testing and the class all about? I didnt expect to spend all day doing this!! Thanks for any insights!

How Did You Decide On A Goal Weight?
kah1213 replied to eyeononederland's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
for me, i am setting mini-goals. For my overall end-goal, I would love to get to 160 which i think i could maintain...if I get to 150 that would be AMAZING...I ended up putting 135 as my goal...135 seems like a far-fetched dream to me, but it would get me right in the range for a normal BMI. So, after I hit 160, we'll see how I feel. -
My surgery date was changed to May 29 (instead of May 30)....the sooner, the better as far as I'm concerned!
-
I have my pre op testing and class tomorrow! They told me to allow for 5-6 hours to finish everything. wow! anyone else have that?

What a wonderful birthday present for you! I'm having surgery on May 29!
