For Those Already Banded..vacation?



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm being banded February 15th! Me and my husband's anniversary is about a month 1/2 later and we were hoping to plan a getaway..but I'm wondering if I'll be ready for that..I was hoping we could go to Disney World but I'm wondering if it would be safe to ride the rides and be doing that much walking that early out and get all jolted around? If not Disney World, maybe Jamaica or Myrtle Beach...but also not sure about being banded and if airplane rides have any effects on each other..

I'm seeing my Surgeon one last time before surgery next Tuesday so I'm going to ask him about all this but wanted to get advice/opinions from y'all also! Thanks..

I see a problem at all with going to Disney World, and walking, and riding the rides.

I would ask about the plane though, he might hold of on any fills in the band.

I went to Disney approximately 4 weeks after surgery and I didn't have any problems at all.

I just got back from vacation in FL. 2 1/2 months after surgery and a week after my second fill. No issue flying. My doctor suggested liquids only on the day you fly. But since I did not experience any issues, I did eat dinner. And on the way home, I sorta forgot the suggestion.

The best thing was I had so much more energy this time. No Disney this time, but I was able to keep up with my husband and do everything I wanted to do.

Have fun.

      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.
