Hunger Pain Or Gas???
kathy lindley replied to jrockwood's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded w plication on the ninth and have the same thing going on. Not sure if its hunger or gas either! I'm thinking gas since the gasx strips makes it better! Good luck! -

They fold the top part of the stomachs just below the lapband and stitch it in place sorta mimics a gastric sleeve. Reduces the size of the stomach 30% and may increase weight loss by up to 30% I had it done there was no cost increase or no additional risks so why not try it? -

I was banded yesterday with plycation. I have some tenderness at the port sight but other than that I am good! Looking forward to seeing the new ME! -
The November 'band'wagon!
kathy lindley replied to LadyLeigh2012's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had double insurance coverage in July and my primary would not approve the lapband but the secondary would. I actually quit my job so I wouldn't have the coverage that was stopping me from having the procedure. I am thrilled that I am getting banded on November 9! That's next week, I'm excited and a nervous wreck but looking forward to a soupy thanksgiving for sure! -
Hi Steve! I'm new here and starting to feel a little anxious! I get my band next week Nov 9. I've waited so long to get it I'm excited and a bit freaked out at the same time. I've read where almost everyone is on a pre op diet and shooting for a fat free liver! All my dr said was 2 protein shakes everyday for 5 days! Should I be doing anything else?

Sleep Study Time!
kathy lindley replied to ChicagoRose's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just completed my sleep study and got the results "moderate sleep apnea" not good news but I was expecting it. I'm overweight and I snore two symptoms that predispose one to sleep apnea, and I wake up at night gasping for air as if my windpipe was constricted. I'm confident after I get my lap band Nov 9 and start losing weight the apnea will improve or better just go a way!
