Band removal in 12 hours...



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning at 7:30 to have my band removed. I'll post tomorrow evening, assuming all goes well and I'm able to.

I have to admit, I'm a little nervous. It was so exciting getting the band put in, that any fear I had about surgery or recovery was easily set aside... now there's really nothing to look forward to.

Anyway, it is what it is. Win some, lose some.

Jonothan, I can only imagine the disappointment you're feeling right now. I mean, you've been feeling it for a while but tomorrow's the finality of it all, right? Did you decide not to have any other form of WLS done then? Or are you waiting to decide? If you posted the answer to that on your other thread, I apologize. I'm really trying to keep up with everyone, but its not always easy.

I wish you the best tomorrow. I would think the removal would be much easier than the installation. I'll be hoping for a quick recovery for you.

Jonathan,

Im truly dissapointed for you.

The only peace I find in your situation is knowing that everything happens for a reason.

True, you are mentally better able to fight the food demons NOW then pre-banding. But goodness, all that money spent.

Know you are being prayed for today - and the days to come.

God bless~

      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.
