  1. I will be banded on March 12, 2010 during Spring Break, as I am currently in school for my RN. I have been an LPN since 2005 and decided to take the plunge and finish up my education and in the process suffered a herniated L4 disk on November 6, 2009. My doc told me that I had some major life style changes to make if I was going to be able to practice as an RN and #1 I need to drop 100 pounds. I was not in shock, I knew what he was going to say before he ever opened his mouth and I immediately began talking to people about other options besides another fad diet. That is where my journey actually began, finally coming to grips with the idea that I was powerless over my weight and that no matter how many diets I have been on in my lifetime that I needed some help. During the summer I took a nutrition class and actually dropped 40 pounds by eating healthy and exercising to only gain it back, plus some during the fall semester and let me tell you I am truly at wits end. I am very thankful to my physician for being honest and candid, but at the same time I wanted to scream at him for telling me to lose weight but also putting me on an activity restriction d/t my herniated disc. I finally have the feeling back in my left leg and have been cleared for walking only. I have been able to manage getting through college and only have one more semester left. I just hope that everything goes well with my pre-op diet and the surgery. I am 10 weeks out from surgery, and it sure seems like a lifetime away, but I am sure it will be here sooner than I think. I am really glad to have found this online support group and forum, so far what I've read has been very encouraging and I hope to add to the discussion.
  2. This may seem long and I apologize but I have some questions that I was wondering if any of you in the same or similar situation can answer. Even if you aren't and can provide an answer I would really appreciate it. Background Info I'm 19 years old and a freshman in college. I recently got banded on March 26,2010 and I'm still trying to get used to my band. I started off really well and lost a bunch of weight. The month or so before my surgery I weighted 360 and last week I was at 335. Unfortunately now I'm at 341. Questions 1. Is gaining weight normal when you start to eat regular food again? 2. I'm worried about stretching my pouch. I haven't gotten a fill yet. Is it possible to stretch the pouch before the first fill? 3. How would I know if I did stretch my pouch? 4. Is there any way that it can be fixed or if I ever do/did will I have ruined my chances at this working for me? 5. Would someone know if their band slipped? If so how? 6. Do weird things cause the band to slip or is it simply overeating or something like that? Thank you so much to anyone who can answer any of those questions. I'm sure I'll think of more soon since I'm so worried about this. Thanks again for reading.
  3. Got my band in 2009. It never really worked kept getting unfilled because of issues finally it was discovered the band had dilated my esophagus so I was revised to the sleeve. The sleeve was great in the beginning then in month 3 bad reflux throwing up at night on three different meds for it. Got dilated four times had the bravo test and other so now I have to do bypass. I didn't choose bypass in the beginning because of the rearranging I am nervous and scared but I can't live like this with the reflux I also don't want to lose too much more weight. I went from a size 18 to a 10. I lost nearly 60 pounds and I work out so I've lost more inches. Anyone else in my boat any stories. To share. My surgery is in two weeks it's being done as medically necessary. I have blue cross federal basic

    EAting has been okay, not too bad, but not 100% perfect either. My exercise has been BAD. I am planning on making it to the gym tonight, so we'll see. I didn't weigh, I was supposed to weigh this morning, but completly forgot. I was running late this morning to work, so just didn't think about it. Will update later on whether I made it to the gym or not.
  5. I am only 10 days post op and luckily have not had any head hunger yet, I figure it is coming, but I will deal with it when it does. With that being said, I have had to deal with it during the past couple of years. I have been hospitalized 8 times since Dec 2013 with problems dealing with my digestive system and every one required major changes in my diet, from nothing for a couple of weeks, to 1 oz of ice an hour. So even though I have not dealt with it yet, I have in the past. I decided to tackle it the same way I tackled the mental battle I had when I quit smoking 12 years ago. I knew the physical dependency on nicotine would end in about 7 days, but that didn't take away the desire for a smoke. I started making latch hook rugs. I knew if I didn't have something to divert my attention then I would either just drive myself into a frenzy wanting my food or cigarette. I tried reading and other diversions like that. But none seemed to hold my attention well enough. I am a gamer as well, and they do work sometimes, but I could still eat while I was gaming. By making the latch hook rugs, it keeps both of my hands busy and keeps my mind occupied as well as I have to count the stitches and things. The other nice thing is I can work on it for as little or as long as I need to. I know that isn't for everyone, but what I found that works for me is something like that, something that occupies me completely, but not something that I have to work hours and hours at a stretch on. I guess my caution to everyone dealing with this is to consider all of the ramifications of it. I remember a few times that I would think maybe I can have just one puff off of a cigarette, it wont hurt, but then the next thing I knew, it was just a 1/4 of a smoke, then a 1/2, then a whole one. Luckily I would realize what I was doing before it went further, but I still had to start the battle with the physical addiction all over again. With the food, I didn't have a choice, I couldn't eat stuff, no matter what, so I could not give in, but knowing about the latch hook and how it helped with my smoking I was quickly able to use it for the head hunger as well. Good luck to everyone and I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

    Friday I had my final visit with my surgeon, Dr. M, before the actual surgery, which is soon approaching! Today I go for my "final" pre-op bloods, EKG, bloodtest and chest X-ray. I also got a flu shot today for the first time, and it really was not that bad! It is going to be a hectic afternoon, but I truly know it will all be worth it in the end! I hope that everyone out there is happy and feeling successful in one way or another! :high5: :whoo:
  7. Wear your Passion

    Newly Banded with some questions??

    I was banded 10/7 and I am eating soft foods I did pretty well too kind of sounds like you. Yep I too have that strange port feeling sometimes even still have it, they say they stretch your muscel to attach the port so thats what the discomfort is, its much better then what it was I understand completely. The hunger feeling yep I am the same way too no full feeling at all I am getting filled on 11/10 and sure hope it gets better but they say it ussally takes 4 times to get to that full spot. Good Luck and keep in touch we are all in this together.

    My jorney

    Growing up I have always struggled with my weight. I was one out of 4 children and of course I took after my dad's side of the family so I was the biggest out of three siblings. When I say I was the biggest I wasn't overweight but at that time my siblings were very thin. As I grew up and became a adult I struggled continuously with various diets. I tried probably everything out on the market. I did loose weight but gained it back and then some occasionally. In 2000 I made the decision to get healthy for me. While my husband sat and ate ice cream and my kids enjoyed their goodies I stuck to my diet plan. Eventually shedding my weight to 169 lbs. Which I was fortunate enough to keep off for over 7 years. Then my husband passed away from cancer. My life had always been my children and my husband and now my kids were older (one in college and the other a junior in high school) and so I didn't know what to do. My friend recommended I do something off my bucket list but honestly...what was a bucket list. I didn't know what I wanted to do. Eventually I took a high stressed job and my weight slowly started coming back and there was no stopping it. I received a promotion and my new supervisor had had the procedure so it was easy to talk to her and ask questions. I then went and discussed having the sleeve with my doctor and she was very agreeable to it. The rest is history. I started my journey with a size 16 pants, 2xl shirt weighing 254 lbs. My surgery was July 19, 2016. I weighed myself this morning and weighed 167.2 and currently wear a size 8 pants, and xl shirt (my son did give me a large shirt and it fit as well). I have seen people have the surgery and at first they are so excited and determine but then slip back into their old habits but to me it is a lifestyle change. I want to watch my kids raise their kids and I want to watch my grandkids graduate college. There are many things I want to do and so it will now be a forever change in my life. I still have 17lbs to go but if I didn't loose another pound today I'd be happy because I'm wear I want to be.

    My madness continues...

    My madness continues in my lapband journey... Thus far I had been waiting for the next step from Bariatrics insurance specialist at my Sergeons office. It only took like 2 weeks to get some answers! Ya I was a little peeved at first. But I keept praying until I got some anwers. So the answers came in on Thursday AM didn't even know it until about 3PM when I took a quick break at work and saw that I had 2 messages. I was so mad that I didn't see that at lunch time. But I was just like what ever took down all the info. I only needed to see the dietition and the Physic both for evaluation. So the last 30 min of work were hell because I wanted to call and make the apt already. But didn't want to do at work people know about my WLS. So I got home and made the calls first call was the Dietician and OMG the lady says I have a canceled opening this Sat AM at 8AM is that good I'm like sure that would be great. Then I get on the horn and call the Shrink lol but all I get was leave a message I'm thinking of crap things were going so perfect and looking like I'm going at this as a fast track, which was awesome! SO I left the message and gave him the number to work and time I could be reached their. So Went about my life and Friday AM didn't think he would call me at work but OMG he did, and that was great. When he tells me a little about what I need to do and that it would take 2 sessions I was like ok but bummed about OMG it's going to take forever to get this going. Then he says let me look at my schedule and he says I have a Saturday at 9AM I say thats not good he says I also have a 10:45 I'm like oh that's perfect because I have an 8AM already didn't want to schedule them too close together in time. So I'm so excited at this point and worred that I will have my girls with me this weekend and they will have to come with me no other option. SO I make a point to talk to my girls 6 and 4 and tell them that I will have 2 apts and it will be a rough AM but that if they act good I will take them to see Beverly Hills Chewowa! Worked like a charm and it was a long day took me 3 hrs to take that 9 million question test actually it was 2 tests ugh. But I survived so I have to go back and see him thankfully he has an opening next Saturday to talk over how I pan up to be ok for surgery. Until then the madness continues...

    Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

    I was given heparin injections before surgery and while in the hospital, but did not get the Lovenox injections for two weeks after, like some of you have related. For any future major operations (and I hope there are not!) it will be something to definitely bring up! I wonder if the fact that I have varicose veins increased by risk. And maybe that I am older - 63? Who knows. Just glad it is resolving. Just got 11,000 steps and 10 flights of stairs in!

    Stomach sounds

    I am 4 months out the VGS, and 10 years out of the RNY. In my experience, your stomach will always make noise, it will just lessen and become quieter over time. My friends and I joke and call them cartoon noises.
  16. Hi I am 10 days post op I am so tired and feel run down could sleep all day and have no problem sleeping at night did anyone feel this way and if so how long before your energy comes back

    Feeling discouraged!

    all of the above posters are correct. With hospital weight gain, it's from the IV fluids. Some people come back from the hospital 10 lbs heavier than when they went in. It can take a week or so for it to work its way out of your system.

    Hard Time With Pre Op Diet.

    It is hard, no doubt. I am 2 weeks post-op and just moving on to mushy/soft food. Are you allowed a snack during the day? I had a protein shake in a.m., snack of a hard boiled egg and 1 pc of light toast, protein shake for lunch, 1 graham cracker w/ very small amount of peanut butter, then grilled chicken/veggies for dinner. I did that for 2 weeks and lost 10 lbs. I found having the snack during the day (which was endorsed by my dietician) gave me something to look forward to. It gets easier as the days go by. Food still smells so good to me, but thankfully, my conscience and my tummy won't let me have what my mind would like to! It will get easier!!! Good luck!

    On my way

    I had rocking bcbs too. I first saw the doc 10/30 and had surgery 12/29! I went with rny bc there are tons of converts from band, you lose faster w gastric, I like the malabsorption part and you have an 80% chance of having dumping syndrome (a good thing in my book to help curve cravings, but I've yet to have an episode- or cravings! Plus there's 50 years of data on the success of rny versus sleeve. Actually those were my options. My doc (a leader and author in the field- Dr. Garth Davis- has a great book. Necessary read for anyone considering) won't even do band any more.
  23. Hi I was banded by Dr Ren.... she spent a lot of time with me in the beginning consult, and came in to see me before and after the surgery. After the surgery - I thought I made an appt with her for the 1 week post op but apparently not - I saw Frank; then I DID make my first fill appt w/ her (there is usually a wait so you can't get any of the surgeons on a week's notice)... but then I screwed up and got the date wrong so they were great and squeezed me in w/ Gaspar, but then i was too tight so Frank unfilled me. AFTER this I had questions for the Dr and I called the office and spoke to Christina the nurse and she did go and ask Dr Ren my questions and came back to me. The office told me dr ren likes to do the first fill..... I'll see her for the second fill. In any case I find the staff very accessible via emails - nurses, nilsa who schedules the surgeries, nutritionists etc. My internist recommended NYU and Dr Ren - they are known for their excellent aftercare. And I have to say everything knock wood went without a hitch - my recovery was quick, i had little pain - I was back to work in 4 days, the day of surgery i was alert and walking fine, no nausea, it was a great process for me and I have to think part of this has to do with the skill of the surgeon and the surgical team. And I do mean team - my friend who came with me was impressed she said I had a whole team assigned to me and they were all outside my door talking about me. I must have met 10 people the day of the surgery each had a role :confused: Also if you do the surgery there and they are still doing the anti nausea med research for the surgery I recommend it (aloxi OR aloxi w/ dexamethasone - not sure which i got). I had zero nausea whatsover from the anesthesia and never was dizzy or anything I think it had to do w/ this trial drug they gave me. I had a HORRIBLE experience w/ broken nose surgery from the anesthesia so i jumped on the trial anything to not relive that. I am happy with the practice.... it IS very busy though.
