Today is my Lap Band OP



Recommended Posts

Hello to all,

Today I have my op for the Lap Band. I guess today is my new birthday. I got up took a shower cleaned out the belly button..lol. I put the tv on and for the very first time I see a Lap Band Commercial what the heck. I guess this is my way of knowing that I am making the right choice for me. I just can not believe I am seeing this on tv today of all day's.

Have any of you seen this on tv as well or on the day of your op. Would love to know if you have any crazy things that happened on day of you band.

Stay well stay safe all.

Mary

This is so funny! I got banded on Monday and that night there was a marathon on Discovery Health about people getting Weight Loss Surgery.. none were Lap Band but still I thought it was funny. Then the next day I saw a commercial for Lap Band through a different hospital than the one that did mine. I'd never seen it before!

I didn't know what to think of it. Coincidence or something else? Haha

      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.
