Recommended Posts

I was banded on Dec 28 09 at CDH, my surgeon is the most negative rude and unpersonable man Ive ever met. This week on Wed I started to develop chest pain and tightness with taking a deep breath, food getting stuck and vomitting Thurs night. Saw Dr on Fri, first he said need an emergency upper Gi then he said oh u have stomach cramping, must be stomach flu. I feel like Ive been kicked in the stomach about 100 times, muscles are sore, everything hurts. I also have vertigo....not sure why? Im miserable. I miss being able to eat,,anything,,and Im scared. Is something wrong with the band? Whats the deal? Can anyone relate? Im down 20 lbs in almost 5 weeks.

Oh,,I also DO not recommend CDH for your surgery!

I can't help you with the stomach issues. I have no idea why you are feeling that way. Your surgeon is the expert in that area.

What I may be able to help you with is how to deal with the " negative rude and unpersonable man." It is at least worth a try. I deal with many many different types of people with the type of work I do and this really helps. All you have to do is act like he is the most wonderful person you have ever met. Always smile and be so cheerful it makes other people sick! Be too cheerful! The sun is always shining on you and there is a bluebird on your shoulder at all times! Usually people stop being so rude and negative with you. Believe me, it works and is much easier than dealing with negative attitudes. Kill them with kindness.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
