Bandiversary Today, But Dr Wants To Take It Out ) =



Recommended Posts

Hi judych'

My surgeon went in and adjusted my band surgically. He did not have to replace my existing band. He had orginally taken all fill out which will, at times, let the band readjust itslf. But mine did not, so he had prepared for the worst, which was to replace it But, when he got in the operation, he just had to readjust it. Hope that explains it. ;-) Karen

thanks Karen... how is it all going with you now?? Im having difficulty with meats since my first fill. i had 3ccs into an empty band about ten days ago.

I am doing good. I have no trbl but obviously watch everything I put into my mouth. My surgeon tells me I am in the "green zone". I have gained some, but am holding now. I want to loose what I gained but he won't do it with any fill as any tighter, it would not go down, as barium needed Water help! So. it is all will power for me now. I am still walking at least 45-60 minutes a day. I am whole lot healthier than when I started, let me tell you. Only one getting winded in my walks, now, is my grand daughter who sometimes ventures on Grandma's walks. ;-) Take care, I hope that your results are what you are looking for. Karen

thanks Karen.. i hope our results are what we are looking for as well. YOu are doing so well. Walking for that long every day is wonderful. Somethings wrong here with me, im so distracted and on the go most days its hard to fit a walk in. My dr said that i was getting enough exercise anyway.. i hope he is right. Well... last week we pulled up carpet from our loungeroom... six quares worth. lol. that was a major undertaking. then i was in the city with our son, helping out with you can guess... just everything had been put on hold for me for when i visited. lol. that lasted three days. now home this weekend im cooking, cleaning ,picking up after, washing for two men and believe me they are untidy. They think they live in the bush.. lol. So, at the moment i am getting enough exercise. i would like to be able to just have a leisurely paced walk now and again though . Perhaps in spring. we have winter here right now.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
