Recommended Posts

I would say gall bladder also.... if you ever really need to have it out maybe your mom won't be living with you so it won't an issue that it is now. Good luck!!

i'd also recommend something with the gall bladder...i had mine removed about 3 years before i had the band done and my bariatric surgeon said that the scars would be very similar, which they were! good luck :)

I was going to use gall bladder surgery they use the same prceedure in the same areas or clae to anyways but the only use three holes just don't say or show lower cuts sites. It's around the same healing time too. I ended up telling someone that spilled the Beans sooo everyone has been ever nice about it not bringing it a lot it so worked out

I would reccomend the hernia, in fact that is what i am telling everyone. I'm not lying because they are actually going to fix mine while in there. Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and input! I will definitely have to think about the hernia and gallbladder. I wish I didn't have to say anything, but people are going to notice I had some sort of surgery. As far as anyone outside my family I don't think anyone will ask many questions except a friend or two, but my family will definitely notice something going on and I don't want to tell them about my band until I'm ready.

If I didn't have the little kids I could just go stay in a hotel a few days and say I'm going out of town ;) but real life keeps bringing me back from that fantasy. :D

      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.
