Banded @ 12:30 pm Today!!!



Recommended Posts

Whew, am I glad that is over. The anxiety had me going!!! Well I am home now and it was a pleasent experience!!! I was originally schedule for 1:30 pm but the nurse called me this morning and asked if I could come an hour early because the doctor was moving along quickly! I was nervous and excited and kept asking myself do you really want to do this??? Needless to say that now it is done. The hospital staff was heaven sent and my doctor is absolutely wonderful. I am at home resting and enjoying my family. I want to give a special thanks to you all who have supported me mentally in the weeks leading up to today! You too have been heaven sent. Now on to the hard part...LOL!

Thanks guys. :)

Wow, that's great!! :) Congrats and take it real easy!! I was useless that 1st day and was required to stay over night. I couldn't wait to get out of the Hospital the next day.

"There's no place like HOME":smile2:!! This forum has really been a tremendous help to me too.

Thanks again, to everyone :thumbup:!!!

I hear alot of people say that they were out of it the first day. I remember everything from the time I woke up. I distinctly remember the dude a few beds over snoring like a freight train and I was wishing I could sleep like that....but it was a good experience. I have been taking my pain meds and it is working but no groginess. :tt1:

      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.
