I am looking for someone who may have experienced what I have. Lap band in 2009. Recently I had both EDG & Colonoscopy by my Gastro Dr. The results were all normal except he said I had a large paraesophageal hernia. I read about it & was concerned because that means it is close to your heart & could ultimately be dangerous. So I was sent to a general surgeon who did a barium swallow & CT of both chest & stomach. He said they did not find a hernia at all. Yea, that's great news except now Gastro Dr says what is on the EDG is an abnormal lab band. Wouldn't the barium swallow be the better test as the gastric surgeon usually performs these? I have an Appt to go over all of this with a bariatric surgeon. But meanwhile does anyone have an opinion? Thanks much!!

Hey Everyone~
I am new to Bariatric Pal and my surgery is in 2 days. Starting to get a little nervous, but am excited as well! Any feedback about how to cope with the next 2 days is welcome
-
It's scary. on that side of things. Much, much less on this side. I'm 9 mos. post op and I just live my life now. Like really live it. That's the best part right now. Build yourself some good exercise habits as soon as you are cleared and it will make the road much easier. I'm available if you have questions.

Hey all you Bariatric Beauties out there...just a little "food fact" for you. I have found (someone else may have done so before me) a product of "flaked light tuna" different brands Clover Leaf for one, in little 85 g cans pop lid, and only 90 cals (if you're counting) in assorted flavours (Canadian spelling ) eg. lemon pepper, lemon dill, spicy thai, teriyaki. I take them with me on walks and as well a sm container of sugar free apple sauce and I'm good to go. Hope this isn't old news...I'm a newbie
-
Thanks Sherrie for the support and info I'll try that... going to the casino on Sunday and while all the rest (it's a bus trip) go for the buffet... I'll take my sad little can of tuna and sit on the bench all by myself and chew my food slowly and feel satisfied. LOL !!! just joking it's not that bad...really I think...no really?
-
I like the convenience of tuna pouches, but some have MSG in them ;P
If money is an issue, I guess I can see sitting there with your tuna.. but it might be worth the money for the socialization at the buffet. Soup should go down real easy (almost normal portion), so have that if you don't want to be embarrassed.
-
Thanks for the feedback
No it's not a money issue it's a temptation issue. All the other stuff and of course the dessert part with all the cakes and puddings and what not screaming "eat me" and as well sitting at the table watching all the others stuffing their faces with all that food. Why bother !
Funny enough I really haven't had any sweet cravings since the surgery...very interesting? I have suger free choc. pudding sitting in my fridge for weeks now and I don't crave.

I am currently pursuing a revision from Lapband to Sleeve. My surgery date is scheduled for July 14th with Dr. Gerardo Garcia Alvarez at Bariatric Mexico in Cabo. I am having an endoscopy done on Tuesday May 16th, and as long as everything checks out with my band internally they will do it in one surgery. I am scared that the scope will show erosion, and I’ll have to just have it removed, instead of the revision, because I can’t afford two trips to Mexico
I have ZERO symptoms of lapband problems as far as pain/reflux issues. I just can’t eat anything without it coming back up. I am very much looking forward to getting off the yo you dieting, and joining the losers bench!
Would really love to hear other stories of revisions..

Three and half weeks out. I have lost 34 lbs and I have currently hit my first plateau. I was advised I am eating to little food and currently light headed. I have no hunger pains.
I see my surgeon on the 11 of august for my two month appointment. I am fortune enough to have Bariatric counseling three days a week and PT twice a week. I am finding this really helps
-
That's really rapid weight loss, Joe!
I'm curious, is the 3x week counseling and 2x a week PT part of your program's standard plan, or something you decided on for yourself? My program has optional personal trainer sessions you can buy, and counseling sessions you can purchase as you wish to make appts for. You can also buy extra sessions with the NUT. The one "freebie" we have is the monthly support group sessions.

Bariatric Fusion vitamins... I'm sure they are easier than whatever I'd be doing if I wasn't using them, but man the sheer volume of stuff in your mouth when you chew them, lol... They get washed down with water ASAP.

Have an appt with a Bariatric Dietitian and she is coming to the house. Hopefully she can help me out with what I am doing wrong in that I haven't lost anything in 4 weeks and I am only 10 weeks post op.
-
Yes I thought that not waiting a 1/2 hour or longer wasn't right so I will not listen to that bit of advise. However everything else seems to make sense according to what a lot of the people on this site were saying to me when I posted about the 41 grams of protein that the surgeon told me to eat and to stop the shakes. So now that I have the info from a Bariatric dietitian her info is what I am listening to except the drinking part.

I have been having the same kind of problem recently, I am 5 weeks out and haven't lost any weight in 2 weeks. I lose and gain the same pound over and over again. I am frustrated but trying to keep my head straight. I get at least 60 to 80 grams of protein a day and I am getting in my fluids. I don't savvy.
-
I have shared with many that I only lose 1 week per month. The other 3 I'll maintain or go up and down and then in one week I'll lose 8-10. Example, on March 8th, I was 302. On April 1 I was STILL 302. Today I am 294. This happens to me EVERY month. Try not to stress the weight every week and trust the process.

Thanks Dr. Schuricht and Penn Bariatric Medicine!

I am going through the SE Bariatric Center in Beaumont. I tentatively selected Dr. Dean. I am currently working on 3 month pre-surgery clearance for insurance. I am so nervous and excited. Did you hear that a surgeon in the area is leaving and changed his name?
-
Hi Julian. Well actually the 30 lbs is from post op until now. IT's really 36. I lost 19 lbs from surgery until my first check up on November 2nd. I WISH it was 30 lbs since surgery.
My Dr. was Dr. Reich for Southern Ocean County Bariatrics in Manahawkin. He's also a great doctor as well as his staff.
I am feeling awesome and am really not that hungry. I'm on the mushies right now. How are you feeling?
-
No :[. I have my stuff sent in to the bariatric hospitial. Just waiting for them to call and set up our appointment so they send everything into insurance.
-

So how long did it take you to get in, and after that how long was it til your actual surgery date. If you have any tips or things I need to know please let me know. Thanks for your time.

I just started taking a generic (flintsone's type) children's chewable with iron which was recommended by the nutritionist. I also just bought OPTISOURCE from Walgreens. It is a post-op bariatric multivitamin with iron and it has great reviews. I am also looking to the Bariatric Advantage brand vitamins.

You are probably wondering about prices/cost. Dr. Sureddi is very fair, I have to say. The only other surgeon in CT that I considered was Paula Moynahan but her prices were OUTRAGEOUS....easily twice what Sureddi charged. His experience with bariatric patients was also extensive and I just liked him. With each surgery, you have the surgeon's fee, the facility fee, and the anesthesiologist's fee. To be honest, the latter two are usually the steepest. Dr. Sureddi charges one fee for the procedure, and that doesn't go up. It's the other two that charge BY THE HOUR and if the surgery runs long (with him it does), you get a bill for that. The anesthesiologist is $500/hour, to give you an idea. It's ridiculous. The surgery I just had was supposed to be 4 hours. It ended up being 6.5...so you can imagine the bills. This has happened every time. Part of that is because Sureddi is a perfectionist. More coming...

It is up to you....personally I did not find the operation painful...just a bit of wind pain.....I have benefited both physically and emotionally from my decision....it is a personal choice which only you can decide....but for me it was the best decision I ever made....I am not depressed I have more energy,...plus I am fitting into regular clothes and being told how hot I look.....I notice a lot more men looking at me.....maybe that is just down to my renewed confidence.....You have plenty of time to think whether the operation is for you....
