I got my band this morning with a slight complication



Recommended Posts

I got my band. In all it was a very easy process. The only problem I am having is my left lung partially collapsed at the bottom due to a cough I had they said. Its very hard to breath so they are having me stay overnight to watch my oxygen. It's around 89 until I they have me take deep breaths. The surgery was a cake walk. It's my breathing that is really hard. They are concerned it could turn into pneumonia. :(

Hope you're feeling better very soon and you don't get pneumonia. Glad to hear the surgery wasn't bad. My surgery is going to be on 11-11-11. Just hoping I stay healthy until then so I don't have to postpone the surgery. Good luck.

In Germany, 11-11 is the beginning of Fashing and things that happen on that day

are lucky.

My breathing is getting better. Thanks for the prayers. I bet this surgery would have been a piece of cake had I not have the lung problems. I feel like I want to eat, but just Clear Liquids for me.

Sorry you are having that kind of problem. Praying it clears up quickly.

      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.
