Band Slipped Surgery Schedule 6/15



Recommended Posts

So, I was banded 7/08 for my 40th bday present to myself. Got pregnant 8/08...miracle, she's beautiful. Started fills in May 2009 after daughter born. Stopped losing weight in November 2009, found out in May 2009 band slipped probably during pregnancy. I had a ton of other bad symptoms which prompted my doctor to do more tests, etc.

MY QUESTION:

How do I prepare for the next surgery, what should I expect, will I lose some weight now, finally? My visit with my surgeon is 6/8, he'll probably answer all these questions, but I'd like to hear from anyone who has gone through this before.

Thanks,

Y:blink:

I'd say the worst of my symptoms are regurgitation. Basically if I'd eat anything say three hours or less prior to going to bed the food would literally come back up. I had some episodes of waking up with whole food pieces on my pillow. The worst part was that the acid would also go down my wind pipes causing me to wake up coughing. Not to mention the sore throat I would wake up with.....soooo glad to be having my surgery next Tuesday. Went to preop appointment today.

      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.
