I'm banded!!!

My surgery was scheduled for 6:30am yesterday morning I had to be at the surgery center at 5:30am. Everything went well, I was released and on my way home by 9am.

As they began the surgery they discovered I had a Hiatal Hernia and a small cyst on my stomach, they repaired the heria and sent the cyst off to the lab, I sure it will be fine. I have a lot of gas pain so I'm doing a bit of walking to help with that. I haven't experianced much pain so far, thank goodness for pain medicine.

Over all I'm feeling great!!!

Patti, congrats on the surgery!! Good to see you in high spirits. Do you know if you can take an antacid (for gas) the week following surgery? :) Heather

You can try the gas-x strips.. since you can't have pills, but for me, walking was the most effective. The strips didn't do much. It's not really gas.. it's the air they use to blow up your stomach during surgery.

My Doctor has suggested Gas X Strips, that's what I'm using and it seems to be working well.

      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.
